Barack Obama did go on about words not being “just words,” so we have to assume that his wife was speaking “not just words” in this situation also.
Her words fit perfectly with his “not jut words” when he called an American flag lapel pin “that thing” and his eloquent “not just silence” when the Pledge of Allegiance was being recited.
