Ann Romney Blames Election Loss On Everyone But Mitt

In their first interview since losing to President Obama in 2012 Presidential election, the Romney's had a lot to say ... especially Ann Romney.

In an interview with Fox News Sunday, the wife of Republican nominee for president blamed the media for her husband's defeat in November.

"I'm happy to blame the media," said Ann Romney, as Mitt sat close by. "The thing that was frustrated to me is that people didn't really get to know Mitt for who he was. People weren't allowed to see him for who he really was."

Interviewer Chris Wallace asked Mrs. Romney if her thoughts went with along with a story about her and her son Tagg asking campaign officials to let Mitt be himself in the waning months of the campaign instead of what he was doing at the time.

"Well, of course -- it was part true," she said. "But it was not just the campaign's fault -- I believe it was the media's fault as well. He was not being given a fair shake."

Also in the interview, Mitt Romney admits that his inability to connect with minorities (93 percent of African American and 71 percent of Hispanics voted for President Obama, according to exit polls) is what cost him the race.

"We did very well with the majority population but not with minority populations and that was a real failing, that was a mistake," Romney said. "We didn't do as good a job connecting with that audience as we should have."

He does recognize that his comments about the "47 percent" played a major role in his loss to Obama but he flowed up those comments with his comments after the election in a conference call with fundraisers and donors of his campaigns. He told those on the call that the Obama team won the election mainly due to big policy "gifts" which included college loan forgiveness, free contraceptives for young people and Obamacare for minorities.

The "47 percent" comment:

"It's not what I meant. I didn't express myself as I wished I would have," Romney said somberly. "You know when you speak in private, you don't spend as much time thinking about how something could be twisted and distorted and could come out wrong and be use. It was very harmful. There's no question that it hurt and did damage to my campaign."

Romney is scheduled to speak at CPAC, the annual conservative conference in Washington D.C., in two weeks. He still wants to stay involved in service even after the loss.

"I'm not going to disappear. I care about America. I care about the people that can't find jobs."
