Not many people have whole books written about the dumb things they say in public.

[The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of Our 43rd President] (https://www.amazon.com/George-W-Bushisms-Accidental-President/dp/0743222229/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1539446782&sr=1-1&keywords=bushisms)

A lot of what Bush did was played up because the man came off as an absolute moron. He was a terrible public speaker, and literally filled books with his oratory blunders. This raised the profile of his mistakes and poor decisions, as everyone was searching through everything he said to find more comedy gold.

That said, (and completely leaving out everything regarding the Iraq War and WMDs) there were a few other major reasons he was hated:

1. He wasn't elected in 2000, yet became the President anyway.
   
   
2. He skipped out on going to Vietnam.
   
   
3. His Death Penalty fetish. "As Texas governor from 1995-2000, he signed the most execution orders of any governor in U.S. history—152 people, including the mentally ill and women who were domestic abuse victims. He spared one man’s life, a serial killer."
   
   
4. He ignored the Aug. 6, 2001 White House intelligence briefing titled, “Bin Laden determined to strike in the U.S.”
   
   
5. He kept reading a picture book to grade-schoolers for seven minutes after his top aides told him that the World Trade Centers had been attacked in 9/11. Then Air Force One flew away from Washington, D.C., vanishing for hours after the attack.
   
   
6. He cut veterans’ healthcare funding.
   
   
7. Cut Pell Grant loans for poor students.
   
   
8. Fired seven U.S. attorneys who did not pursue overtly political cases because of lack of evidence.
   
   
9. When Bill Clinton left office, 31.6 million Americans were living in poverty. When Bush left office, there were 39.8 million, according to the U.S. Census, an increase of 26.1 percent. The Census said two-thirds of that growth occurred before the economic downturn of 2008. The Census also found that 11.6 million children lived below the poverty line when Clinton left office. Under Bush, that number grew by 21 percent to 14.1 million.
   
   
10. He set the record for the fewest press coferences and the record for the most vacation time. Reporters analyzing Bush’s record found that he took off 1,020 days in two four-year terms— more than one out of every three days. No other modern president comes close. Bush also set the record for the longest vacation among modern presidents—five weeks.
    
    Despite everything, he was never held accountable for his actions. This list was heavily edited down to make it only 10 items.
