It would be patriotic to say that we're going to do what needs to be done for us regardless of whatever some fairy might have in mind or how it moves.
While it would be ridiculous if the president of the us thought it was gods will that americans get mowed down, it's clear that the notion in question is something even less than that. The mysterious way gods supposed to be working here, is to defy and confound the will of the shooter, and help people see something. There's nothing more ridiculous than a public servant babbling about what god does, is doing, or will do. That's not gods job. Ya might even call it dereliction. At any rate, if we assume that both god and Barack Obama were on the case - the results speak for themselves.
