Former President Bill Clinton implied that Mitt Romney is wealthy and out-of-touch with the majority of Americans in an interview with an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,"

In the interview, the Hill reported that Clinton says he knows a lot of high-income people and “a lot of people say things" similar to Mitt Romney’s remarks about the “47 percent."

In the interview, the former president also predicted that barring any unforeseen circumstances, Barack Obama will be re-elected in November, Talking Points Memo reported.

“I think that the president’s winning, and winning in the swing states,” Clinton said on “Face The Nation,” although he warned that the Romney campaign and its outside allies will outspend him in the final stretch. But he predicted, “I think the president will win.”
