Obama is not a dove and he's not quite a hawk but he's certainly more the latter.

Incorrect.  

The Osama raid really had no chance of going bad once it was all planned because, for Christ's sake, a helicopter crashed and it still was successful.  

It's not fair to entirely blame Obama for how messed up things got in most of the places he sent ground troops to because he didn't start the entire conflicts, but a lot of what's going on now and how bad things have gotten are because of his failed policies and his handling of how things were going, so it is fair to blame him for a lot of how things are right now.
