George W Bush’s Real Legacy

Politics

Only in San Francisco.

Seems that some people are attempting to have the local sewage treatment plant named after George W. Bush, which isn’t sitting well with some local Republicans. Gee, I wonder why?

A group called the Presidential Memorial Commission has reportedly picked up more than enough signatures to put the ballot initiative to the San Francisco public in the November election. (source - Fox News)

I mean you have to admit, it is rather a fitting tribute to George W. Bush. Least if you are one of the about 70% who think he’s done a rotten job as President. I guess if you are one of the few fans who support him, well you might not think it is funny. But you have to admit, it does give a good indication of how some feel about the man.

We all speculate on what his legacy will be, what history will record as being the George W. Bush Presidency. Will it be complimentary in any form, or will it merely be a blip in the history of American Presidents? Will the shame he has brought be erased by time, or will it in fact history recall him fondly? Be rather interesting to come back in fifty years to find out, or a hundred, but for now, I think a sewage treatment plant named after him speaks volumes of what people today think of his Presidency.
