This - should be fun.

?uuid=2BhCrHqlEeWpWNiJ-vVh3A

Clinton’s featured a performance by pop megastar Katy Perry, who wore an American flag as a cape from her white sequined gown, and a warm-up speech by former president Bill Clinton, who was making his first appearance of the campaign in Iowa on his wife’s behalf. Her campaign said it drew more than 4,000 people.

Bill Clinton made a joking reference to his wife’s effort to make history as the first woman to be elected president.

“There’s been a lot of talk about breaking the glass ceiling,” the 42nd president said. “I am tired of the stranglehold that women have had on the job of presidential spouse.”

Overhead, however, a circling plane towed a banner that read: “REVOLUTION STARTS NOW! FEEL THE BERN!”

'The Revolution Starts NOW.'

I thought it started a few weeks ago. Or several months back.

How does it make you feel that your candidate is worse on many issues than Ron Paul is?
