Clarification Sought

I just received this message from an American friend of mine:

Friends,

Elections come and go but God is forever. It is my wish that during this season of happiness and introspection that we find the time to do a few of the important things that we may have neglected over the course of a busy year. From reconnecting with friends, family, or faith, the next 12 days present each of us with an opportunity (and excuse) to reconcile differences, drop grudges, restore friendships, and maybe even pray a little.

May our hope remain with the One who is ultimately in charge.

All my best,
Moshe

So I had to ask the obvious question: "When referring to 'The One', did he mean Barack Obama?" :-)
