Bill Clinton Weighs in on Romney's "47 Percent" Comments

Thinks the GOP nominee will have a tough time explaining the remarks in upcoming debates

Bill Clinton says Mitt Romney now has a "heavier burden" on him in the presidential debates to explain his "47 percent" remark.

"I think it puts a heavier burden on him in the debates to talk about what he meant," Clinton told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Thursday. "I do think a lot of the Tea Party people believe that, they think it's government versus the private sector."
