I recall McCain's moving speech at the convention, "I am haunted by the vision," where he meant an awe of the future potential of the USA. I suppose the eloquent "angel rides in the whirlwind" phrase can be interpreted poetically, but I was looking at it in a exegetical way.

I looked in my topical index to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance:
Whirlwind--a great storm or tempest.
A. used literally of:
Elijah's translation: 2 Kin. 2:1; It's fury: Is 17:13.
Used figuratively of:
Sudden destruction...Prov. 1:27
Suddenness: Is. 5:28
God's anger Jer. 23:19
God's might: Nah 1:3.
I was wondering if you thought it was a deliberate choice of words or an ignorant choice?
