O’Reilly: Dems Can’t Say Obamacare Failed, They’d Have to Admit ‘Liberalism Is Not Good’

Bill O’Reilly reacted to President Obama‘s press conference, announcing a one-year extension for cancelled health insurance plans, by arguing that Democrats may compromise on one thing or another when it comes to Obamacare, but they will never admit the overall program is flawed, because if they did, it would mean an admission that their entire philosophy of governance is just flat-out wrong.

O’Reilly wondered why, if Obama knew it would be this complicated all along, he didn’t level with the public much earlier about how bumpy the rollout would be. Instead, it was sold as a “magnificent government-imposed program with little downside.”

O’Reilly brought up the one-year extension and mockingly asked, “How many of you believe re-enrolling in a cancelled health insurance plan will be a fun adventure?”

But as much as Democrats are running from the sinking ship, O’Reilly contended they have no interest in trashing the law at all. He argued that if they did, they would have to admit “big government is not good and therefore liberalism is not good.”
