Michelle Obama earned the nickname “the Closer” during her husband’s 2008 campaign for her ability to win over wavering voters. After two successful presidential campaigns, the first lady is being called upon to perform one last trick: elect his successor. “I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become, and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them,” she said. “Michelle Obama can’t wait to leave the White House and Hillary Clinton can’t wait to get back in,” said Kate Andersen Brower, journalist and author of First Women. “Four more years!” the college crowd chanted on Friday when Obama said her family’s time in the White House had nearly come to an end.
