Mitt Romney: ‘It Kills Me’ Not to Be in the White House ‘Doing What Needs to Be Done’

Mitt Romney: It Kills Me Not to Be in the White House Doing What Needs to Be Done

Mitt Romney said he desperately wishes he had beaten President Barack Obama so he could be working on fixing the country’s problems.

In his first interview since the November election, Romney said “it kills me” not to be in the White House.

“I look at what’s happening right now, I wish I were there,” the former Republican presidential nominee told Fox News in an interview aired Sunday. “It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done. The president is the leader of the nation. The president brings people together, does the deals, does the trades, knocks the heads together, the president leads. And – and I don’t see that kind of, of leadership happening right now.”

Instead, Romney charged, Obama is out “campaigning” when he’s the only one who could bring both sides together on matters including sequestration, the forced $85 billion in federal spending cuts that went into effect Friday.

“The president out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country and berating Republicans and blaming and pointing,” Romney said. “Now, what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and to put up a wall and to fight back. It’s a very natural human emotion.”

Repeating multiple times that “I lost” the election, Romney said he’s not the leader of the Republican Party but that the GOP must do better engaging minority voters. Addressing his infamous “47 percent” comments, Romney called it an “unfortunate statement” and “what I said is not what I believe.”

Joined in the interview by wife Ann, Romney said both of them were convinced they could win and that it was a “slow recognition” on election night as the numbers came in.

“Some people said, oh, look, if this number here comes in, why, you could win. But you know, by 8 or 9 o’clock, it was pretty clear that we were not going to win,” he said.

    Ohio State Voter Fraud: Secretary of State Orders 88 Counties to be Investigated:

    Melowese Richardson is one of 19 people suspected of illegal voting by the Hamilton County Board of Elections in the last election.
    In written reports detailing the 19 cases, Board of Elections investigators described their findings. In one instance, an investigator called a suspected double voter and was hung up on.
    The Hamilton County Board of Elections is holding hearings to further investigate these cases.
    As part of a new effort to root out any voter fraud, Secretary of State Husted has ordered all 88 of the state’s county Board of Elections to hold public hearings on any credible voter fraud allegations or claims of voter disenfranchisement during the 2012 election. He said any substantiated allegations should be turned over to prosecutors.

      The Local12 channel reported on this and mentioned (in almost a whisper) that ONLY when both parties agreed that it ‘could’ be fraud, then – THEN an investigation would occur. The female in your links granted an interview before realizing the gravity of the situation and admitted to her activities. She is now lawyer-ed up
      Only a few dozen are being investigated out of hundreds of allegations. Only when the RINO/PROG party agree…

      And they couldn’t have done this on Nov. 5th? Is Pennsylvania doing he same thing?
      The sad part is that Republicans hold all the State offices in Ohio and they wait until March, after the coronation of he boy-king to investigate voter fraud.
      Just make voter ID a state law and enforce voter law in all precincts.
      I really don’t expect anything o come of this. I have emailed Husted, no response, emailed google-eye DeWine, AG, no response. Nobody does anything in Ohio, unless it shows up on the news or threatens to embarrass any State office.

      Hahahahaha, Hohohohoho….a blind and deaf man should have won this election over Obama. Give every reason you want to sling mud at Mitt, but in the end, you got exactly what you deserve by voting for any one but Mitt. Ron Paul or Gary Johnson would have lost in more than a landslide, hell, they couldn’t even win the primary! Sure they had a true conservative position, but that means nothing in today’s political climate. The left has mastered stealing the national election, conservatives will never again have a president. This country is hurling towards collapse and some of you have the nerve to criticize Mitt. GTH

      I dont believe Romney for a second. Remember in the primary how he went after all those “conservative” candidates and outspent them 10:1 in some states? Then Romney turns into a timid mouse for the general campaign…..Who paid Romney to beat up the other republicans and go “hands-off” Obama? Remember, Romney has not released his list of donors and campaign bundlers – I don know of any republicans who gave romney money during the primary, it is possible that he was a progressive PLANT

    No , the Stock Market is not UP. What we are seeing today in the market, is the same thing we saw before the housing bubble exploded. The dollar is shrinking in value. Those who believe inflation is under control, are living in a fools paradise. The two most expensive items, are not even included in the calculations that reflect the true percentage of inflation, those are gasoline and food. Has anyone purchased gas or food lately, If they have, they get my meaning. For the Stock Market to
    reach the level of 20 years ago, It would have too reach the 20000 level. Accounting for the time it would require too do that, it would then have too reach the 25,000 point too adjust for inflation.

      now some may call that racist and others might say that is a person who has the wrong prioroties you know since he voted for a man of color instead of voting for the best person for the job but I wouldn’t call that particular vote ‘voter fraud’.

    Whether or not Romney believes his 47% statement, it’s true. There are producers and parasites ,
    the parasites helped elect Obama. Romney was capable of helping businesses create jobs, the parasites said to themselves ,”Uh Oh, If Romney is elected, I won’t have an excuse for not looking for a job”. “Heaven forbid, I might just have too go to work, and pay for my cell phone.”

      Prior to the election I asked people why specifically they chose to support a certain candidate. The answers varied but I clearly noticed a theme. Obama supporters stated things he was going to do to benefit them directly. Romney supporters stated things he was going to do to make our country better or stronger.

      Hades,

      “Romney was capable of helping businesses create jobs.”

      That statement is false at worst at misleading at best. Whenever a candidate lays claim to “creating jobs” in the economy it is complete horse crap. Unless that candidate specifically hires workers at a designated business, then they have not created diddly and they cannot promise to do so. The most any candidate can lay claim to is that they created or will create an environment that fosters job growth, but even that claim (coming from both republicans and democrats) is dubious at best.

    Romney is a moral man who had the best interest of this country at heart. Obama’s second term will be remembered as one of gross incompetence leading to the dissolution of the United States. The mask is slipping and people are slowly waking up from the effects of the Obama kool-aid. Woodward got him good in the crosshairs and Barry acted like a deer in the headlights. He was found to be a manipulating liar on the sequester and he’s overplayed his hand with the American people. It’s going to be a looooong four years.

      Romney is very logical. The problem when you combine morality and logic is you get someone that nobody believes is real. You can see these issues impact him personally. He took his loss very personally and you can see that in his deflection about (“I’m the one that lost. They shouldn’t listen to me”) it in the interview.

      We are to the point that we expect ‘logical’ people to be atheistic scientists (an extreme ‘logical’ position) and emotional people to be constantly raging or crying. Our reality TV culture has made us all stereotypes of ‘people’ and that makes us not quite real.

      When we see someone like Mr. Romney who feels passionately about what he’s saying, to the point that you can see the deeper emotions in his face and eyes as he talks about them, you think it’s got to be an act. However, the truth is in the eyes.

      When our beloved President gets up and gets passionate, his eyes are flat and his nose rises and we get all those wonderful shots of him looking down his nose at us. Now watch Mr. Romney’s interview. When he gets passionate, his eyes are wet, his nose drops and he focuses on whom he is speaking with. His mouth tightens when it’s uncomfortable for him to say something he doesn’t want to (sometimes through a forced smile), and he smiles broadly when he likes what he’s saying.

      You can read both men like books, it’s very easy.

      I’m just disappointed we bought the fairy-tale and not the non-fiction one.

      Romney was a gentleman, a patriot, and not a mud slinger. The Republican convention was incredibly patriotic compared to the Democrats not even wanting God mentioned and their stupid war on woman. The reason he lost was of the entitlement leaches and the uninformed. He ran an honorable compaign. One he would have won easily if Obama had not run such a sleasy campaign appealing to envy, sex, and lie telling..

We are all stuck because of stupidity, entitlement mentality, un true promises and facts, fear ,greed,etc. Time ,more increased national debt and the painful guaranteed coming events will soon prove the size and destruction of our drastic national mistake in the last election.

The main reason people who believe like yourself line up so well with the liberals, is you look for the differences in people when making your choices instead of looking for the similarities. Of course, the bigotted rank of the conservative party is no better, heck, they turned Christianity into a into something resembling the persecuting ranks of the early 17 th century. Filled with discontentment themselves, they find it far easier to exclude instead of include. Both of you got played by Obama, and are still getting played. Like the left, you focus on the differences, and end up making a decision that results in direct consequences on your individual cont. rights.

      The question to ask is not “would” it have been avoided, but “could” it have been avoided? Obviously with Romney, any answers would be hypothetical since we’ll never know– my guess is it COULD have been because, as a seasoned deal-maker, he’d be likely to compromise. Of course with Obama, the sequester COULD NOT have been avoided, because he dug-in his heels and refused to listen to anyone’s alternate point of view. And the notion that the Repubs succeeded in blocking his honest efforts to make a deal is total horse crap! He was never going to budge.

      If Romney were our President, the Sequestration would never have been necessary. He would’ve lowered expenses in a logical and timely manner , not vindictively, like this ‘president.. to score points with Washington reports and foreign campaign donors.

      Soy,

      Since none of these idiots could answer your question, I will. No, the sequestration would most likely not have happened. Romney would have continued to make crap deals to kick the can further down the road. We would see virtually no changes in the status quo regarding spending. Remember, during the debates how Romney and Ryan tried their very hardest to make it seem like they and Obama were so similar regarding all the major spending issues? Romney said he would make no significant changes to social security, medicare, and defense spending, and those are the three most significant contributors to our national debt. Romney’s claim that he would go “line by line” through the budget and eliminate wasteful programs without giving any specifics is complete nonsense, and would have resulted in no significant changes.

      Ron Paul on the other hand offered $1 trillion in specific cuts to be implemented. But I think the people on the Blaze would much just rather make fun of him than debate this idea because apparently they all have the maturity of a high schooler.

    Romney was steadily gaining ground until the last weeks when he started acting like McCain and yammering about reaching across the aisle and turning into a dem-lite. We need strong leaders who run on principles and not smiling faces promising to give us half a glass of poison instead of a whole glass. Both are toxic,..one just takes a little bit longer.

    While I do not believe that Romney is a Conservative, I do believe he is a noble man with intentions on saving the United States from its destructive path. Voter fraud, an uninformed electorate, and apathetic Conservative base all played a roll in Romney not being chosen.

    Insolvency is now certain (simple math) while our nation’s enemies have grown stronger, more capable, and more organized. While the gathering threats to American freedom and liberty are both foreign and domestic, the domestic enemy appears more of a mortal threat to our Republic than our foreign enemies. Both are coming.

    We have hit the iceberg and the descent into chaos will play out despite the obama rhetoric that denies the reality of the situation.

      1. Romney is a progressive leftie.
      2. The only policy he disagreed with Obama on is illegal immigration.
      3. Off shore jobs, reduce the 11% tax rate the wealthy pay, more foreign wars for empire.
      4. No, I didn’t vote for him. The last guy with an ‘R’ by his name that I voted for was G.H.W. Bush the first time he ran and I came to regret it.

Atleast we still have our guns, under him probably not due to lack of vigilance. Also try not having a candidate who is just like the person your running against.

That’s why it doesn’t bother me as much as it could that he lost. Obama will OWN the train wreck he’s creating, hopefully some people will wake up when the gravy train stops rolling in. I’m not that optimistic, however.

      2. Take the ground game in Ohio. The unions donated over a hundred office to the Obama campaign to Romney’s 3. Simply pout Romney was outspent by big money.

      The left decries how rich the Republicans are. The Koch brothers are pikers compared to awesome wealth of the Tides Foundation. Romney has noting on the 50 or so million the Pelosi has made from her non-union restaurants, hotel & vinyards.

      3. The general elections started immediately after the Passage of ObamaCare. The Scott Walker Recall was just 1 theater of combat. The left spent billions on this election.

      4. It is hard to beat Santa Claus. Santa Claus politics can work upwards of 2 or 3 generations before it collapses. Know where you stand when it collapses & make peace with your decisions, because you are going to have to live with the filth that is your code of conduct.

Now we are stuck with Obama for 4 more years. The damage has been done. It’s too late. The economy is gonna tank and people will be scratchin their heads and pointing fingers.

All this anger because people think Obama didn’t call it an act of terror (even though he actually did), and yet these same people were curiously silent when Dubya, Cheney and the War Profiteers lied about WMD’s to get us into a war that killed over 4,000 troops. But hey, at least Cheney’s hunting buddies made billions off the war, so I guess it all evens out in the end, right?

      VANCE: Bad intelligence and believing Saddams’ boasts and lies. And where is your outrage at Obama for the drone programs ? All of you so outraged by the savagery of Gitmo ? You are all, like your fellow radicals, just stuck on Blame Bush and Hate America.

      Vance, Vance Vance , We know Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, we sold them to him. This would not play well in the world press. He sent them to Iran and Syria along with most of his air force. Ask the 5000 Kurds he killed with Sarin gas.

    Romney should have thought about that when he called Obama a good guy & did not call him a liar on Benghazi and the budget.

    That & Candy Crowley needs to go. Candy will go down in history as a media muppet.

      He picked Paul Ryan as Vice President; an excellent choice, but those two good men did not deserve what the character-assassinating media did to them. The Stupid people who voted for O-blame-a are going to have to feel some real pain before they get it through their half-assed brains what it is that they have done.

      if you dont want milktoast again you should encourage the republicans to reform the primary election process so that the conservatives dont split the vote and let the moderate win (again). All they have to do is award delegates based on proportion of each state’s vote instead of “winner-take-all”…..I would have thought this issue would be important enough for Glenn Beck to harp on it but he has never mentioned it which makes me believe he is a statist as well
