Michelle Obama awkwardly waves off 'Four more years!' chants at Hillary Clinton rally

Michelle Obama's fans really don't want to see her family leave the White House. As the first lady stumped for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at George Mason University in Virginia on Friday, her mention of her husband's final few months in office was met with pleas for "four more years." The audience broke into chants, but Obama didn't seem swayed: "No," she said, waving her hand and laughing. "You have me and Barack working on your behalf for the rest of our lives, so no need to worry."
Clinton is President Obama's chosen successor — but it seems some diehard Obama fans might just prefer to stick with the real thing. Watch the moment, below. Becca Stanek
