Bill Clinton's Obama Birthday Wish Turns Into Balloonfest

Former President Bill Clinton proclaimed his love for balloons in a birthday wish for former President Barack Obama Friday.

Happy Birthday @BarackObama! Hope you get some balloons. I love a good balloon. #HBD44

The tweet prompted a series of humorous replies that showed Clinton holding balloons and smiling at them during the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Here's a sampling:
