(laughter) i think that if anytime you're running for office you always think that you're being portrayed unfairly and you know, we -- of course on our side believe there's more bias in favor of the other side. i think that's a pretty universal -- universally felt opinion. >> jon: ann romney, along with her husband speaking in an exclusive interview with chris wallace last weekend. this week, the media reacted, as you might have expected, "the washington post's" eric wimple, there is a mountain of contradiction on one hand ann romney her frustration that the campaign kept too tight a lid on the candidate. on the other hand she says that he wasn't portrayed completely in the media. i suppose it's the complaint na every losing campaign is going to have. >> it is and i think that some p

if ann romney wants to blame the media at all. she should be looking at conservative media. conservative media allowed them and the republican party to delude themselves into thinking this president was so weak, he could be beaten by a toaster oven, and this was going to be a landslide. and deluded them into believing that the president was hated and they could run on this just anti-obama message without offering any of their own ideas and win. so to the extent that she wants to look in that direction, i think that would be a worthy place to place at least a little bit of blame on the media. >> steve kornacki, you know who i think did the most important post election interview of a republican? >> i think i know who this is going to -- >> ooh, ooh, i know. >> it's mr. steve kornacki. gingrich as we know, can think, and every once in a while he's willing to do that, fairly, honestly, publicly. you got him to do it publicly. he said to you, among other fascinating things, i think conservatives got in the habit of talking to themselves to the extent to the degree which we believ

bitterness and regret just some of the words being used today to describe mitt romney and ann romney's first sit down interview since the defeat. here's nicole wallace, former senior adviser to john mccain's campaign earlier today on "morning joe." >> whenever you come out and talk about what went wrong there's just a -- sort of wreaks of the bitterness and the regret and hard to watch. >> i also remember watching the interview in grad school thinking, you know, that's not the future of the republican party and i must say with all due respect to governor romney, i had that feeling watching him, too. >> that's of course bill kristol and the romneys made it clear as the first read team said in the words and tone that they have not moved on from their loss. >> i look at what's happening right now. i wish i were there. it kills me not to be there. not to be in the white house doing what needs to be done. >> that was that crushing disappointment, not for us. our lives are going to be fine. it's for the country. >> romney lingering on even as his party attempts to move forward. rebuild, rebr

ann romney also part of that interview. and if mitt romney is not over it, it really seems she is really not over it. shannon. >> that's right. she's not. she basically says she mourns the fact that her husband isn't in the white house. she has admitted she has cried at the loss a few times and casting a little bit of blame on the campaign itself, but also at us, john. take a listen. >> it was not just the campaign's fault. i believe it was the media's fault as well, is that he was not being given a fair shake. people weren't allowed to really see him for who he was. >> that's not an unusual line of attack, republicans saying the media is to blame for a lot of their electoral problems. ann romney also said that she considered going on "dancing with the stars," but she decided against it because she is turning 64 and just is not flexible enough. >> that would have been something to see. >>> big story this morning. a potential blockbuster medical break through. scientists say a mississippi toddler born with hiv has been cured

. >> well, i think ann romney is just, by most accounts, by the accounts of a lot of people who saw this interview she's being delusional. you look at fox news, the most partisan media of all. they were totally in the tank for mitt romney. you had republican pundits claimed that mitt romney was going to win by a landslide and there is nothing more you can do to get people at the polls than to portray him as the winner. they claim it's the media's fault. if the media had-nicer that he wouldn't have been nicer. it shows our out of touch they are when it comes to the american landscape. it's not about the media. it's not about other people. it's about them and their policies that were soundly rejected. >> michael: god bless them, i think it will make everyone happy to have that be the case. whether you're biased or not probably feels that the 47% issue was a big problem for mitt romney no matter what. here's the former governor, former candidate talking about that. >> it was a very unfortunate statement that i made. it's not what i meant. i didn't express myself as i wished i would have. yo

i mean, we saw the interview with mitt romney and ann romney over the weekend where ann romney was quick to blame the media. well, i think blame the conservative media. they fed this perception among the republicans that a toaster oven could beat the president. that he was hated in the country. they created this caricature of him that doesn't have a resemblance to the pragmatic person he is. and you can't run against a caricature and win. you have to run against the real person and engage with the real person most of the country knows. >> when you talk about the practical side, krystal, let me show you, james, senator lindsey graham. what he said today about president obama and how the president is still reaching out and we know all of the things graham has said. listen to this. >> he just called me. >> he did? >> yeah. i'm very encouraged about what i see from the president in terms of substance and tone. he's calling people. this is how you solve hard problems. maybe because of sequestration and frustration with the public, the time is right to act. he wants to do the big deal. >> so t

. >> mitt an ann romney went public for the first time since election night. defeat that was a surprise to them. >> my heart and my whole soul was we are going to win. we were there. >> when did you know you lost the presidency? be by 8:00 or 9:00 it was clear we were not going to win. >> what was that moment like? >> it's hard. it's emotional. there was such passion in people helping us. >> is it true you began to cry? >> i did. yeah. very disappointed. >> cry for what? >> it's not sorrow for oh, my gosh. our life or this dream. the dream was to make a difference. the dream was to serve. >> in the four month since then, romney went dark. random pictures of him pumping gas and them hugging in their kitchen. >> as we sit here right now, have you gotten over the te feet? or is that going to take more time? >> i'm mostly over it. not completely. you have moments where you go back and feel the sorrow of the loss. >> mitt romney has been watching the mess in washington. thinking he could do a better job. >> it kills me not to be there or in the white house doing wh

this is the first introo view it mitt and ann romney have given since the election. i went to san diego and interviewed them. they still feel the sting of the defeat but both romney and mrs. romney feel he would have been uniquely qualified to avoid the mess that we're in right now, and they feel the frustration. >> shepard: what does he say about people in his party throwing him under the bus now? they haven't been that kind to him. i guess that's part of politics, too. >> yeah. he knows it, and he says i understand it and people are going to say whatever they want to say. he said look, i lost. i'm not the guy that most people are going to want to take advice from because i lost an election a lot of them think i should have won, but he said on the other hand, i care too much about this country. i know some people will ignore me. i will say what i think. people will take it for what it's worth. >> shepard: mitt and ann romney on "fox news sunday". >>> back to the sink hole story. seems we have our technical issues worked out. as we reported, cops in tampa say a man i

this is ann romney blaming the media for the portrayal of mitt. >> of course, it was partly true, but it was not just the campaign's fault. i believe it was the media's fault as well. is that he was not being given a fair shake, that people weren't allowed to really see him for who he was. >> all right. what about the media? >> i'm happy to blame the media. >> do you think the media was in the tank for barack obama? >> i think that any time you're running for office, you always think that you're being portrayed unfairly, and, you know, of course on our side we believed there's more bias in favor of the other side. i think that, you know, that's a pretty universal -- universally felt opinion. >> and yet, peter, in that same interview she acknowledges the truthfulness of the politico report that said that both she and tagg romney went to the campaign and said essentially let mitt be mitt. >> right. i mean, i think what's ironic about this is a lot of the problems mitt romney had that joy was talking about were similar to the kind of problems al gore had in 2000 and john kerry had in 200

. >> the wife, ann romney. i don't mean to refer to her as the wife. that sounds disrespectful. this has to be brutal for her. >> i'm going to do this not from the female perspective. the spouse, the spouse always takes it harder than principle does. my exhibit a for this is bill clinton when hillary clinton lost the primaries to barack obama. he took it harder. if you're the principle, you can suck it up and go on and pick yourself up, as hard as it is. if you're the spouse, you're feeling the wound for your husband or wife and you're holding the grudge. i think you see a little bit of a glimpse of that from ann romney in this interview. >> it will give us an additional reason to pay attention to cpac. should it be a good gathering in just a couple of weeks. >> yeah, this is in some ways like i said this is like the base of the republican party is at cpac, but it's not the base of the sort of republican party of the future necessarily. >> correct. thank you both for being here. appreciate it. appreciate ken vogel and ruth marcus. when we return, let me finish with my argument f

[ male announcer ] i've seen incredible things. otherworldly things. but there are some things i've never seen before. this ge jet engine c

ann romney talked about same thing. you know, as i pointed out he could barely fake interest in running for president. this idea that the both of them are just -- they can't sleep at night out on malibu or wherever -- >> stephanie: la jolla. >> with their car elevators that they can't sleep at night. he was never that person. he never had that burning desire. you know, you don't nominate someone to run for president who's worth a quarter of a billion dollars. there's just not that incentive. you have to have this insatiable appetite. listening to him now, it is so clear it wasn't there. >> stephanie: you're like it kills me really. i need to have a wave machine in addition to the ocean to sleep. >> like he's reading it off a cue card. it kills me to not be in the white house. >> i'm devastated as you can tell or i wouldn't grin. >> stephanie: eric boehlert, great stuff as usual from media matters. see you next week, honey. >> okay, bye-bye. [ applause ] >> stephanie: la jolla. >> you pulled an eric boehlert this morning

the exclusive mitt romney and ann romney interview. what he is doing today and what he says about politics in washington with chris wallace. martha: this one continues to get a lot of hub bub. a veteran journalist taking serious heat from the white house. now he is defending himself. what does it say about the press right now and the white house? >> this is exactly the way the white house works. they're trying to control and they don't want to be challenged or crossed. bill: for the first time since the election in november governor mitt romney is speaking publicly. he and his wife ann sitting down for an exclusive interview you will only see on "fox news sunday" with anchor chris wallace. i talked to chris a few moments ago about it. chris wallace with me now. sir, good morning to you. >> good morning to you, bill. bill: there are so many topics out of washington. even just today i want to start there with the news of the day. how did he say or how did he rate the beginning of obama's second term? >> well you know, it's interesting. t

. >> chris: after our interview with mitt and ann romney first since the election, we got a lot of comments from you and the vast majority were positive. like his interview with you, he would be president today. he should have dumped his campaign manager. lucas was not as impressed if romney is blaming obamacare for his defeat. >> chris: we heard from chris, this country needs the mature leadership of them. it's so disappointing that america missed the chance... >> chris: we appreciated hearing from all of you. is that it for today. have a great week and we'll see you next fox news sunday. >> this week on the journal editorial report. the president's plans revealed.

. >>> mitt and ann romney are speaking out together for the first time since last year's presidential election. romney and his wife have given an interview to fox news. and they talked about life since the end of the campaign. >> we were on a rollercoaster. exciting and thrilling. ups and downs. but the ride ends. and then, you get off. >> in our church, we're used to serving. and you can be in a very high position. but you recognize you're serving. and you're released and you're nobody. and we're used to that. >> reporter: the romneys have spent most of their time since november in southern california. he addresses a big conservative conference in washington two weeks from today. >>> a touching moment at the west point burial of general norman schwarzkopf. the commander graduated in 1956, going on to an outstanding career. he was buried there near his father. >>> turning to the weather, now, time for a look at what it's doing across the nation. snow in several regions. but none have significant accumulations in their way. showers in the pacific northwest. and some clouds in the sunsh

ann romney made an interesting point. whatever candidate is talking is going to think that that candidate didn't get the kind of coverage they wished they had had on either side of the plate. i'm sure the obama campaign tphaoels there are many times the media are wasn't fair to him and his message didn't get out there. >> that's why we have metrics to show where the by as was, and the pew center which is probably a little bit on the left. they agree that obama got better press than romney. romney has a lot more reason to explain. >> mitt romney could also take personal responsibility for, you know, what does he think he might have done differently that could have changed the election? i would have like to have heard some of his selfreflective necessary or analysis of what he might have done in a different way that would have made a difference. jon: i think what she said about the media was done with a smile on her face and with a gentle nudge. it wasn't a lambasting. that doesn't come through on some of the print stories

when you get your butt kicked in an election you really thought -- ann romney is probably an okay person. she thought she was going to win. they really thought, i didn't know who was going to win. i didn't know who was going to win. it was that close. the democrats had a better ground game, obviously. a better social network event. it was close enough to grab. like a football. the receiver is that close. it's in his hands or right there. he should have caught it. it's not the quarterback's fault if that case. here's the question. if they blew it, is their tendency to go hard right with this guy, rand paul, go to paleoconservatism, no more wars. >> that has never won. even when they've gone conservative, when they went to ronald reagan after ford lost, he was not a libertarian. he was sort of a movement, traditional movement conservative who had been less conservative as a governor no -- a governor in california. >> that's true. >> and had a lot of crossover appeal just in terms of his nature. so going to the straight tea party libertarian and risking this tremendous work, we haven't seen

especially ann romney. >> you know, the bushes were obviously very good at it. george w. bush continues to show remarkable, remarkable restraint and grace just like his father. >> yeah. >> let's go on to the news. >> as the dow hovers near record highs, there is a troubling question, why isn't unemployment dropping more quickly?
