In their second term, Michelle and Barack’s daughters, Malia and Sasha had turned out to be well-adjusted teenagers with a social circle that had nothing to do with their parents (Obama 316). This chapter accounts for Barack's final years in the White House, a year Michelle describes as “a long series of lasts” (Obama 323). There were balls to attend, trips and last commencement speeches to be made. The presidential campaign activities were at their most intense with Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump running for president. The Obamas were, obviously, supporting Hillary Clinton as they believed her to understand the demands of the presidency as well as the temperament to lead a nation.

When Barack announced that the "results in Florida are looking kind of strange", it became apparent that Trump would win the election (Obama 328). Michelle states that she could not understand why women rejected a qualified candidate like Hillary and opted for a "misogynist" as their President.
