Money can't buy you everything, but it came to close for my taste! 
,but if he is. That would be because he lost to one of the most hated Presidents of our time.
What ever your opinion is of Obama, he is the most hated
Even when your lover W wasn't liked. I never heard any one come out and hate the man. Like they do Obama.
Mitt Romney advisers have described what it was like to be with the former governor as he came to terms with his loss.
"He was shellshocked," one adviser told CBS News.
Another unnamed senior adviser explained that as returns came in and battleground states went into President Barack Obama's Electoral College column, they felt their paths to potential victory narrowing. CBS reports that the campaign was unprepared for this in part because it had ignored polling that showed the races favoring Obama. Instead, it turned to its own internal "unskewed" polls, which it believed more accurately reflected the situation on the ground. They didn't.
Romney was stoic as he talked to the president, an aide said, but his wife Ann cried. Running mate Paul Ryan seemed genuinely shocked, the adviser said. Ryan's wife Janna also was shaken and cried softly.
As Ann Romney cried softly, he headed down to deliver his speech, ending his second, and presumably last, bid for the White House.
