I'm not disagreeing with your take on how people look a lot more favorably on Bush now, but a lot of that "good guy at heart" narrative is done to downplay how big a disaster the War on Terror was. Not just by Republicans, Democrats obviously also dealt with the fallout all through Obama's tenure as President and both parties would really love it if we just forgot the whole thing while also appealing to our patriotism by trying to bring troops home. A lot of people haven't forgiven this.

He did do a decent job of trying to de-escalate religious tensions as opposed to using them to rile his base (which he didn't need to, he had a war) so I'll give him that.
