Mount McKinley - Very Happy With Name Change

This further shows what a joke our president is. All he does is pander to minority's for votes. The guy is clueless. It was named McKinley for a good reason. however we live in a world where Obama thinks he is king and will do as he pleases.

Then come the liberal idiots. Who follow this moron so blindly. They can't think for themselves they just follow Obama. They are no better than our idiot president. They voted for Obama to prove they weren't racist, so they could get more minority's votes.

Our country is so messed up. Thank you liberals

Really, what's the good reason? McKinley didn't have anything to do with Denali. He never even saw it nor set foot in the state of Alaska.

From what I've heard, the only Congressmen opposed to the change are a few politicians from Ohio, which is where McKinley was from. So, this is name change is not pandering to the minority. It's just doing the right thing.

It wasn't named McKinley for a good reason. Most people in Alaska have been calling the mountain Denali for years. I called it Denali before I moved to Alaska in 1999. The Ohio Congressional delegation has been trying to keep it named Mckinley for 40 years, but the public support for that position in Ohio has been weak, in contrast to the public support for the change in Alaska.

Still waiting for the good reason...It was originally called Denali by the natives, most everyone in Alaska know it as Denali and not McKinley, please tell us what good reason you have for having it named McKinley and how does the name change affect you at all? Its shocking to me that someone was stupid enough to name it McKinley to begin with knowing fully well that it had been called Denali for hundreds of years already. Its a slap in the face of the people in Alaska to name it after a person who never even went to the state and has nothing to do with that state. Whats that good reason you talk about?

You lose the bet. How much did you wager?

I'll bite - why am I an idiot? Because I don't shower Obama/etc praise for political grandstanding?

Probably because of your childish handle, and all it implies about your hatred of democracy.

It's a pity that conservatives waste their time arguing such trivialities. Names change all the time. Even though I grew up with the name Mt. McKinley (which was also the name always used among climbers), and it will always be Mt. McKinley to me, the world moves on. Whenever possible it's the locals who should decide the names of their mountains, not the federal government.

Hi Chas! Made any new videos recently?

You were messed up even before Obama was president so maybe you are the one responsible for the state of the country!

THANKS CHAS!

Assuming this is all true, I think changing the name back makes sense.

The guy who says it was named Mount McKinley for a good reason...what was the good reason?

McKinley had absolutely no connection to Alaska.

Those are all well known facts, no need to assume.

I can't say that I care a great deal about this, but given the option to vote one way or the other I would vote for Denali.

I agree with this guy.

Although, it would be impressive to see Obama, once during his presidency, work with the opposition party in Congress to solve a tough issue.

You mean like the trade deal?

If Ohio congressmen feel so strongly about this then why don't they name a landmark in their own state McKinley and leave Alaskans alone.

Wait. We're renaming it for an SUV? That's worse than McKinley.

Brilliantly done.

When I heard they were renaming it Denali I thought they were doing it in honor of a popular ice cream brand:

In this case, John F Kennedy High School in Montgomery County, Maryland, needs to change its name because JFK never set foot in the school.

Don't even get me started on Washington the state.

No kidding!

I kind of liked the fact that Denali had an official name that nobody used. It's old enough now that it's just part of the history.

Mountains should be named after famous locals. I suggest Mt. Palin.

Ever been to Alaska?

Just like any GMC vehicle, Denali is the highest upgrade.

Plush leather, navigation, sunroof, the works.
