No. I can visualize Hussein saying, “I’m not so proud of Biden all that much - so I’m trying to hide him, just like Michelle.”

Kerry did that about Edwards, IIRC. I don’t see anything wrong with either gender saying that about their running partner. YMMV.

Most people take this phrase, and they think she's chalking the outcome up to 'fate'. Up to the 'whims of luck'.... God IS in control.

God gave mankind free will. God can call upon people to do things, but they don't always obey. God may plan for something to happen, and may call upon lots of people to make it so, but that doesn't guarantee that it will get done. Part of the consequence of giving mankind free will is that the it won't always behave as God would like.

IMHO, it is very unwise to suggest that something like the election is "in God's hands", since such a statement may encourage complacency by those who would see the result as being fate. If everyone whom God calls upon to defeat Obama joins in doing so, Obama will be defeated. If none of them do so, Obama will win. Ultimately it will be the people, not God, that make the final decision.
