Romney: ?It kills me? to not be in White House

Mitt Romney says it "kills" him that he's not the president, but doesn't blame his loss to Barack Obama on Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or anything except his failed election campaign.

?It kills me not to be there," Romney said on "Fox News Sunday" in his first television interview since his November loss.

The former Massachusetts governor said his failure to connect with black and Hispanic voters--and those infamous "47 percent" comments--damaged and ultimately derailed his campaign.

Ann Romney, though, pointed the finger at the fourth estate. ?It was not just the campaign?s fault," Ann Romney said. "I believe it was the media's fault as well, in that he was not being given a fair shake, that people weren?t allowed to really see him for who he was."

She added: ?I totally believe at this moment, if Mitt were there in the office, that we would not be facing sequestration right now."

Mitt Romney said President Obama has failed to lead on the sequester.

"He didn?t think the sequester would happen," Romney said. "It is happening. To date, what we?ve seen is the president out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country and berating Republicans and blaming and pointing. Now, what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and to put up a wall and to fight back.?

On election night, Romney said, he was "convinced" he'd win the election--until Ohio went in Obama's favor.

?It was a slow recognition until ultimately when the Ohio numbers began coming in and they were disappointing,? he said. ?By 8 or 9 o?clock, it was pretty clear that we were not going to win.?

Romney, who has avoided the press since his loss to Obama, likened the election and its aftermath to an amusement park ride.

"We were on a roller coaster, exciting and thrilling, ups and downs," Romney said. "But the ride ends. And then you get off. And it's not like, oh, can't we be on a roller coaster the rest of our life? It's like, no, the ride's over."
