"Well, you know, I love the fact that we have the first African‑American president," Ann Romney said of Barack Obama. "That means to me that we're leaving prejudices behind.  I would hope that if Mitt were elected, we would see more of the same, that prejudices are left behind."

Romney also defended her husband from critics.

"I will tell you, Jay, that four years ago ‑‑ it's a hard thing to do this, I will say, especially being a wife and having to listen to all this stuff all the time," she said. " Four years ago I made a videotape, and on the videotape I looked in the camera, and I said, Mitt, this is for you, sweetheart. I'm never doing this again."
