My 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."

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