WASHINGTON (AP) — Former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney says there is no question in his mind that he would have been more effective in the White House than President Barack Obama. But he reiterates he has no plans to run again.

My time has come and gone, Romney told Fox News Sunday.

Romney cited continuing high U.S. unemployment and growing troubles abroad, and that some of those who voted for Obama might now have some buyer's remorse.

63. No arguement.

[murielm99]

36. McCain does not shut up.

Cheney thinks he has a right to shoot off his mouth, too. So does Newt. And Sarah Palin!

38. +1

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Anyone having "buyers remorse" has no idea of the complexities...

...of all the issues faced by POTUS during his entire term.

[Louisiana1976]

37. Absolutely true.

[EEO]

5. Delusional.

[Thor_MN]

8. Beat me to it.

That was exactly what I was going to post.

7. in his not so humble opinion.

[supercats]

9. What Arrogance!

It's like 'those who can't do teach...' He's a corrupt total joke. Just shut the hell up. Live out the rest of your life with your rose colored glasses on since it makes you feel better, but please just go away quietly you business destroying job killing hack of a human being.

[billpolonsky]

10. Me, Me,Me!!

No, really he would have done a great job as president, but we can't prove that statement because he didn't win and won't run again. I wonder how FOX thinks this is relevant to anything. "I would've , but couldn't so I can't and I won't". Brilliant man.......BAIN!!!!

[SoapBox]

11. Shut the Fuck Up...SORE LOSER.

Go strap your dog to the top of the car and ride it up and down your car elevator.

Don't forget to cry baby cry, to your cult...maybe they can cook up another Prop. 8 or some sleaze for you...

[MANative]

12. "Better" is...

largely subjective and situational. I'm sure his fellow multi-millionaires would have done even "better" while the rest of us continue to be "battered." While I've been disappointed that President Obama has been blocked at every turn, I'd still rather have him in the White House on his worst day rather than Rmoney on his best, 'cuz the gods only know how much damage the vast majority of the population would suffer because of it.

[Helen Borg]

13. Sure, Mitt... And you know that how exactly???

[americannightmare]

14. Two things he's right about...

there's no question in his mind - never has been, never will be. And he would have done a better job of creating even more income inequality and jumping into the Middle East clusterfuck! One need look no further than the sorry curriculum in business schools to understand why our country is going down the drain!

[Botany]

15. Good God in Butter

Sure you would have Mitt .... just like all those businesses you helped out w/Bain Capital

[catbyte]

16. He was right about 1 thing, his time HAS come & gone. If he had a "time" at all.

[truthisfreedom]

17. Piece of shit.

Fuck off sore loser.

[C Moon]

18. He probably pretends he's POTUS on weekends.

[Scootaloo]

42. Something like this...

[C Moon]

43. :D

[Lulu KC]

19. For the love of God and all that is holy will he please shut up!?

I only hope that he really believes his time has come and gone, and if it has, why is still talking about it two years later? Get a life, Mitt! Please!

[Rhiannon12866]

70. LOL! My thoughts exactly...

I think you've come to the right place, Lulu KC! Welcome to DU!

[Lulu KC]

75. Thank you

[Grassy Knoll]

20. .

[DesertDiamond]

21. Yes! If the goal is gutting American businesses, sending our jobs elsewhere and not paying taxes...

[Stellar]

22. Old 'etch-a-sketch' Romney...

If he only had a brain...

[Leith]

23. What the Hell Is Wrong with Republicans?

Can't they do anything but complain and insult the people who are doing their damnedest to make things work?

Did Jimmy Carter carp about how bad Reagan was? Did Mondale? Did Dukakis whine for years afterward? Gore could have had a lot to say - did he? How about Kerry?

Like others have said: Rmoney lost. He has to learn to accept reality (for the first time in his life) and shut up.

[TwilightGardener]

30. We're in a new NO-CLASS era, where the challengers (McStupid, Mittens) can't

stop promoting themselves as if the campaign is still ongoing. They can't accept the fact that voters rejected them.

[joanbarnes]

24. Gore would have done a better job than Bush, and he actually won!

[Jack Rabbit]

25. Yes, he would have. . . by the criteria of how upwardly mobile he could make the middle class' money

Of course, Obama has done well enough in that department, but I'm convinced Romney could have done better.

I am critical of President Obama, but under the circumstances, I do not regret voting for him a second time even though I had major problems with his record for the first four years and continue to have them. Mr. Romney did or said nothing to indicate he would have made those things of which I have been most critical of the president any better and, in fact, I believe they would have become much worse under an administration directed by an infamous vulture capitalist.

I dread the idea that the next election will present us the choice between another Wall Street stooge and a Koch whore. I don't think America will survive either.

[aggiesal]

26. I have only one thing to say about this ...

[elleng]

27. Oh right, but for the facts:

A new economic report, published by Forbes.com on September 6, 2014, clearly shows that President Obama is the best economic president in modern times. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact, based on all of typical the economic indicators, including jobs, investments, growth and expansion, even the rate of inflation. In all of these areas President Obama’s record outperforms that of every other modern president, including conservative idol, Ronald Reagan.

Under President Obama’s leadership, the unemployment rate has now decreased to 6.1 percent, the lowest it’s been since 2007, when the economy began gushing jobs under the failed leadership of then president George W. Bush.

[Third Doctor]

28. This guy is pathetic.

I bet if he had won we would be launching another full scale invasion into that hell hole. The military contractors and industry would love it. I have a problem with chicken hawks dictating military policy. As for the economy and middle class we already know what he thinks of working Americans.

[TwilightGardener]

29. Oh Mittens...enjoy your delusions.

[onecaliberal]

31. You are fucking delusional

Go away, even your own party hates you. You clearly hate America, go the hell away.

[Deadbeat Republicans]

32. Ze plane, ZE plane diminutive brain.

If mittens had his way, BainCapitalist would have bankrupt this country, then sold US to China.

[rock]

33. What braggadocio

Means just as much as if w* had said it, i.e zero.

[louis-t]

34. Haaaaaa!!!!!

[Demeter]

35. A Better Job of WHAT? Looting the Treasury?

Destroying the middle class? Racial bigotry?

Sure, Mitt.

[Louisiana1976]

39. Mitt Rmoney ranks extremely high on my list of Extremely Annoying People Who Should Just Shut

Up.

[mnhtnbb]

49. But does Sarah Palin rank ahead of him?

[rocktivity]

40. But you DID do a better job than Obama

Of convincing the majority of us that there hasn't been a worse presidential candidate!

[Ilsa]

41. He'd do a better job of enriching his 1% buddies and

Keeping the war machine rolling, turning back women's reproductive rights, killing the environment, etc.

[nakocal]

44. Alternate Universe: Under President Romney the next Great depression deepens

Mitch Romney is delusional. If he had been elected the US would be entering a depression even greater that the one in the 1930's. And of course no government money would be available as tax cuts would have decimated the federal budget. In addition, his foreign policy decision to attack Iran would have resulted in the sinking of the first US Navy's aircraft carrier since WW II.

[rurallib]

45. I still think he is running

He lies about everything else, why not that.

Look at that pathetic group on the front page of DU today and tell me he doesn't believe that Romney doesn't think he is
a) better than any of them
b) more acceptable to American voters and
c) has a good shot against whoever the Dems run.

I still think he believes he has been chosen to be the first Mormon president by God.

[Tom Ripley]

46. Graceless sore loser confirms that money can't buy class

[santamargarita]

47. We still have a country because your stupid ass was defeated.

Or, because we caught you trying to steal it! (So the story goes)

[mnhtnbb]

48. Yawn. More delusional $hit from Mitt.

[Major Hogwash]

50. 47% of Mitt Romney is hot air.

The rest is just steaming bullshit.

[poster123]

51. Lobotomies for republicans!

[Aristus]

52. Better at WHAT? Keeping his magic underwear clean?

[Chemisse]

53. Another one with a case of sore-looser-itis.

The only cure is to totally ignore him.

[The Blue Flower]

54. Watched it at the gym with sound off

I couldn't listen to him, so I had NPR on while I exercised. What struck me most was that his expression never changed throughout the interview. His face was frozen in a faux smile, and his eyes looked to me as though he'd had some cosmetic work done. He's an empty suit. Why anyone cares what he has to say is beyond me.

[treestar]

55. He would have gotten more of what he wanted

from the Republican Congress, that's true. But that would be an advantage, not "better."

[BarbaRosa]

56. Yeah right, dream on. .

[Blue Owl]

57. He woulda pranced through Stonehenge on a dancing horse

n/t

[sueh]

65. LOL

[Historic NY]

58. Really, in reality he can't prove it.

[shenmue]

59. Nah-ah!

Loser.

[Brigid]

60. Nobody likes a sore loser, Mitty.

[BadgerKid]

61. Another cheap shot from the right. n/t

[BlueStater]

62. What a little asshole.

Mondale, Dukakis, Dole, Gore, and Kerry had the courtesy not to badmouth the guy who beat them. It's too bad McJerk and Mittwit can't display the same class. They both need to shut the fuck up.

[Dont call me Shirley]

64. That's because you have your posse of whores in congress, Mitty.

[sakabatou]

66. How many wars would he have started?

[moondust]

67. Better at one thing.

Enriching himself and his cronies at the public's expense. THAT...is what he does.

[jwirr]

68. Yeah, for the rich only.

[jmowreader]

69. Assuming he had both houses of Congress he'd be able to get more bills through than Obama can

The bills in question would be pure evil, we'd be in a Great Depression that made the one Shrub had look like an accounting error, and we'd be in at least five wars...but hey, we wouldn't have none of that nasty Obamacare or Welfare Spending and to Mitt, that's all that matters.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

71. You wish n/t

[NBachers]

72. "Is it time to go out and make my victory speech now?"

Nyaaaah nyaaaah! How I loved watching the agony of defeat on the faces of all those deluded losers.

[area51]

73. LMAO, Rmoney

[TBF]

74. A better job at what? Shoveling more $$$ to the wealthy -

even there I kind of doubt it. The rigged stock market has done pretty well under Obama.

[Javaman]

76. shoulda coulda woulda.

just another smarmy moron

[still_one]

77. I think he is referring to golf, because as a president Romney would be a failure just like

His corporations are people my friend

The fact that he cannot accept his loss only amplifies why he should not have been president

Why the media continues to give air time to these lovers is beyond me

[SmittynMo]

78. There is no question in MY mind that he would have been more effective?

Give us all a break. By now, we'd be in another war, raising our debt yet again, and making more enemies.

Go away Rmoney and enjoy your retirement. By the way, STFU too. No one wants to hear your bullshit all over again. Once was enough.

[Hotler]

79. .......
