‘And that’s why I didn’t like Biden. Obama didn’t like Biden because Biden was like taking a nap every three hours.’
He added: ‘I don’t think Obama was a bad president at all. In fact, you could put him in the good category because he uplifted a portion of the population that needed to be uplifted, people of color.’
O’Reilly claimed he had a good relationship with the 44th president, but still included criticism of the Democrat in his analysis, including what he called his mass spending tactics.’
In a clip provided exclusively to DailyMail.com O’Reilly also discussed Joe Biden‘s legacy as he denied that he is the ‘worst president.’
