Ahead of his three-day trip to Alaska, Obama announced that he would rename the tallest mountain in North America.
Mount McKinley was named for the 25th President of the United States, who was assassinated in September 1901, six months into his second term.

Seriously? This might be the dumbest comment I have ever read. Wow
What gives the POS puppet the right to change any landmark?
Jason Smith, the mountain was renamed for a fallen president. Yknow, kinda like how they always rename places for MLK jr?
It was Denali first right? Named by natives who were there first right? I don’t agree with much he’s done but I think someone got this one right.
WTF does MLK Jr have to do with this? Can a comment go by without racial connotations being put on it?
The mountain already had a name. Why name it again? If you want to honor McKinley so badly build a monument.
In a related story, Obama plans to change the name of the planet Ur$#%&!@* to Tunnel of Love.
There are thousands of monuments of people of all races and colors. Why compare this to MLK? It’s not even a remotely valid comparison.
I have never agreed on anything Obama has done to this country. He is the worst president we have had. He has split the country apart and against itself. He will be known for generations as the man that destroyed the west. BUT WITH THAT SAID, President McKinley never stepped foot in Alaska, and never laid eye on Mt. Denali, WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL NAME AND THE RIGHTFUL NAME. Some pos politician decided to name it after themselves. Sounds like something the good ol’ gov’t would do.
how do you pronounce Denali De Na Li ? whatever
Arrogance!!
