For Democrats, there are very few names that bring us as much pride as Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy. Both are superstars of the Democratic Party. So what happens when you bring both figures together in the same ad? Well, in this case, tears of joy.
In the ad, Clinton speaks about how meeting John F. Kennedy made him realize he wanted a career in politics so that he could help other people. Make sure you have a box of Kleenex nearby because this is one of the most compelling biographical ads ever made.
This ad helped launch Clinton to his first term in office, defeating incumbent President George H. W. Bush by a margin of 202 electoral votes.
Did You Know? “Journey” is an edited version of the biographical film “The Man from Hope” that was shown at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. That tearjerker was produced by Clinton pals Harry and Linda Thomason, who were known for their commercial TV hits including Designing Women.
Politics is not Clinton’s only passion. When he was in high school, Clinton played the saxophone in a jazz trio known as the "Three Blind Mice." He still enjoys playing the sax today.
