2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy prediction as to how Michelle Obama will respond.
She will take the high road and say something like, "I have no problem with anyone using my words in a speech. I only ask that they live up to their meaning. That they just don't recite them, but use them as a part of their core philosophy."

While I would enjoy it if she slung some mud, I think she should say nothing at all.

I doubt she will be offended. Like Barack using the "Words" speech lines, the words spoken are well worth repeating.

Staying out of this brouhaha is the wisest course of action.

Michelle Obama should make a statement about the importance of proper attribution etc.
