President Bush lags his predecessors in tribute. Low popularity may keep his name off sites.

WASHINGTON — The first President Bush has an aircraft carrier, an airport in Houston, a turnpike north of Dallas and the George Bush Center for Intelligence (the CIA headquarters in Langley, Va.). Lincoln has a tunnel. Washington has a bridge and a state. Hoover has a dam. Madison has a Square Garden. And Reagan has close to 100 things honoring him, including a ballistic missile test site, a New Hampshire mountain and a bust at an Alabama McDonald's.

So far, the current President Bush has an elementary school, a Waco-area road and highways in Ghana and Georgia (the country, not the state).

Time will tell what else will bear the name of a president who, according to a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, is less popular now than Richard Nixon was when he resigned. Know of much named for Nixon?

The most recent effort to name something for Bush was not meant as a tribute. Bush foes in California wanted to change the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. Sixty-nine percent of voters gave it a thumbs down on Nov. 4, killing the idea.

1. Can we name a CDC Level 4 pathogen after him?

You know, something really evil like a strain of hantavirus, hemorrhagic fever, a flesh-eating disease, etc.

3. I remember there was some elementary

school in California that was naming their school after bush..did that get vetoed?

Guess not..how wonderful to have a grade school named after the worst president ever..way to go, Stockton.

"School officials in Stockton, Calif., opted against that sort of thing when George W. Bush Elementary School opened.

In October 2006, Bush went to the school to acknowledge the honor.

"When I pulled in the parking lot and I saw George W. Bush Elementary, I couldn't think of a higher tribute to a person, and I thank you all and the citizens of this community for this honor and tribute," Bush said at the time. "Frankly, I was a little emotional when I pulled in."
