Michele Bachmann gives Elvis birthday wishes on the anniversary of his death

Michele Bachmann gave Elvis Presley, whose songs she uses at her events, happy birthday wishes today while she was in Spartanburg, S.C.

Unfortunately, today's the 34th anniversary of the day he died.

"Before we get started, let's all say 'Happy Birthday' to Elvis Presley today," Bachmann said. "You can't do better than Elvis Presley."
