Obama To Allow Mt. McKinley Name Change

[FJO]

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration will change the name of North America's tallest mountain peak from Mount McKinley to Denali, the White House said Sunday, a major symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives on the eve of President Barack Obama's historic visit to Alaska.

By renaming the peak Denali, an Athabascan word meaning "the high one," Obama waded into a sensitive and decades-old conflict between residents of Alaska and Ohio. Alaskans have informally called the mountain Denali for years, but the federal government recognizes its name invoking the 25th president, William McKinley, who was born in Ohio and assassinated early in his second term."

What say you? Good or bad!

Nothing needs to be named after or in the language of the so-called "Native" language of the losers who lost territorial wars to those who were superior to them.

Obama just lost the State of Ohio electoral vote to the GOP.

Thanks you stupid fuck!

Not changing the name. Correcting a misnomer. It was called Denali long before McKinley was even born. Besides, it's what Alaskans want.

Incredibly, the first time I've ever agreed with you!

Good but not really all that newsworthy IMO outside of Alaska

Lopk who's talking about "losers"!!!

I'm surprised that Obama didn't rename it Mt. Moochelle after his wife's giant caboose. .....

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Wait until he renames Reagan National then you're going to see people lose their shit.

I call upon all candidates for President to pledge to rename Mt McKinley back to its original name on his Inauguration Day.

Psst...the original name of the mountain is Denali.

Who gives a shit? Obama has no business to unilaterally rename it. I doubt he even has the authority. Congress should defund any cost to change any signage with the name of Mt. McKinley.

Good or bad? All you have to do is say Obama wants it and that makes the Right hate it. They'll be around to tell you about how awesome President McKinley was...right after they google it

Obama is just spreading his power around to piss off the majority of white Americans until he leaves his job. Power-tripping and spending taxpayer's dollars is what he needs to do to feel relevant.

Or Palmyra after the criminal theft of world heritage.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I'm surprised he didn't rename it Mt. Obama.

 

[Darkwind]

Meaningless gesture. The next President can change it back as easily as Obama changed it.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who pushed legislation for years to change the name, said Alaskans were "honored" by the decision.

Obama Renames Mount McKinley

Denali means high one. It isn't really a name it's a description.

McKinley is an assassinated US president. I can imagine if it were mount Kennedy people would go mental over this.

Enough in an earlier post for my decision.

The mountain was renamed to honor an assassinated president.

To change it's name back to Denali dishonors that.

Cape Canaveral was called Cape Kennedy for a while, then changed back to Canaveral. I don't see this as much of an issue, except in Alaska and Ohio.

You do apparently b/c you are the one that claimed the next President should change the name back to it's original name. Which is...wait for it...Denali. Alaska changed the name of the mountain 40 years ago. If Congress wants to waste time trying to 'defund' any change to the signage then let them attempt to do so. It would be hilarious to watch them try and justify wasting time on this when their are so many other pressing matters at hand that require their attention. Hells bells, they can't even defund the ACA but they are somehow going to stop the name changing of a mountain that the people of Alaska have wanted the federal government to recognize for decades. lol
