DescriptionIn his first interview since losing the presidential election in November, Mitt Romney criticized the President, telling Fox News' Chris Wallace that Obama could have avoided the sequester with more of a Romney-like leadership style, and that "I don't see that kind of leadership happening right now."

While declining to go into specifics about the shortcomings of his campaign, Romney did discuss why he thought the Obama campaign had the advantage. "The president had the power of incumbency. Obamacare was very attractive, especially to those who did not have health insurance, and they came out in large numbers to vote," he said. Up until election night, he was "convinced" he would win.

Reflecting on the current sequester and stalemate in congress, Romney told Wallace that "It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done. It's hard."
