First of all, this renaming would not take place until 20 Jan 09 when Bush is no longer President. So this would not be disrespecting the office of President.

Second, Bush might as well take this as I doubt there will be anything better named after him. He wanted a legacy in history. This may be the best offer he will get.

Third, why is everyone assuming that a sewage treatment plant is somehow beneath him? Sewage treatment plants are very important and ensure the health of thousands of people. I am sure that the hundreds of people who work at this facility, and the thousands of people who work hard at other sewage treatment plants really appreciate Bush being insulted at being associated with them.

Fourth, This decision will be made by a vote of the people. Let the citizens choose. If Bush did such a great job, he should have nothing to fear right?
