The only ones he doesn't reach out to are the producers and taxpayers who fund his entitlement culture.[V]
It has always been Denali and it should have never been renamed McKinley
This is so obvious even Obama could get this one right

While I'm not that invested in the name one way or the other, you might look into Woodrow Wilson's term in office.

Too old to live...too young to die...
No matter what the maps say, they will refer to it as Denali, anyway.
We have a million things to be pissed at Obama for, but don't sweat the unimportant stuff.
I still have a hard time believing that the nation would impeach Bill Clinton for getting a * but this enemy of our country can do whatever he pleases (legal or not) and the word empeach is never spoken.
We are truly a nation of sheep. [V][V][V][V]
I don't disagree with the name change, I do however, take offense (once again) with Barry's methods. If there is a situation where king obama can circumvent protocol and and legal procedure he will jump on it in a heart beat.

Impeach.
If you want things done, you have to be a vocal pain in the *. That is how all the fringe elements are getting attention.
Of course, it would help if the media would cooperate.....good luck with that.
As for Obama, we are just going to have to ride out the rest of his presidency.
More importantly, get conservative people to get active in politics. Make our voices heard.
a rename of the white house is in order
its been redefined as public housing since 09 [:D]
Oh, that's right, there aren't any.[8D]
The name was changed for no real reason.
The folks that spend the most time on or around the mountain liked the old name and wanted it officially returned to the old name, and now that has been done.
Probably the right thing to do unless one suffers from Obama derangement syndrome to the extent that each and every thing he does is wrong, even if you agreed with it when someone else did it.

I was more upset when Johnson renamed Cape Canaveral Cape Kennedy.
I'll ask a dumb question: Who or what agency is actually charged with naming things like lakes, mountains, and rivers? Is the Department of the Interior in charge of this sort of thing? Suppose a group in Utah doesn't like the Colorado River being named after the State of Colorado and want the named changed to the Southwestern River. Maybe a bunch of people in Milwaukee want that big * lake sitting next door to them called Lake Wisconsin instead of Lake Michigan.
What do you do to change these names?
I guess we'll find out when they rename the hoover dam to Cesar Chavez dam [:0]
It was constructed and dedicated as Boulder Dam and was re-named Hoover Dam in 1947.
Odds are if anything it would go back to Boulder Dam.

How does an unelected bureaucrat have the authority to change the names of landmarks inside a state? The mountain is in Alaska so why does that state have to request a name change? It's their mountain...Just change it!
Is GM going to change the name of the Denali to the McKinley now?
I don't have a problem with the name change. In fact it might be a good thing, but since Obama did it I know there has to be a fly in the ointment somewhere. I just haven't found it yet.
I was more upset when Johnson renamed Cape Canaveral Cape Kennedy.
Ahhh well might I suggest that he intends to change the name of some other landmark, something much more sensitive to the American people, and is using this as an opportunity to set a precedent.
You are wise not to trust him. [;)]
As a comprise, they could name a mountain in Ohio after President McKinley.
Oh, that's right, there aren't any.[8D]

Since they are renaming it back to what it used to be called instead of for a "president" that was in office for 6 months. I could care less....
Respectfully sir, 6 months would refer to his second term before he was assassinated, which one could argue equated to a president who gave his life for his country.
He had about the same understanding of economics as Obama, and I agree with others, if that's what the locals call the mountain, so be it.
William Henry Harrison was our shortest serving President, he died after about a month in office. Though the shortest time in office he did have the longest inauguration speech of any president.
