Good. Alaska has been fighting for this for 40 years.
What think you?
Much as Cape Canaveral is and was never Cape Kennedy. The land mass. The base is still Kennedy Space Station, as apropos.
Canaveralis, the Spanish name for the land mass.
Denali— is the name of the entire mtn. range that includes McKinley— so the range is far more important than one mtn.
SOB comes to AK to name something that is in their own state. Typical. And typical of Murkowski— not known for her “native american” friendliness unless there are oil rights.
It appears that Barry has finalized all of those ...promises or pledges or pinky ring finger things that he promised he wouldn’t sleep until are accomplished.
He’s now down on his list to the things that only a person with the same malady as Al Capone (sponge bob brain, orsyphilitic dementia)
Just a misspelling ——it is Denial.
The NCAA forced under threats against their scholarships the Division III McMurry University Indians to rename their sports teams. I know firsthand because this happened in my area of West Texas. Nobody wanted it. There was no choice. The name War Hawks was chosen as a substitute after a renaming contest. People like the replacement name, but in their hearts still these are the McMurry University Indians. Officially, they can’t be. A football team with no scholarships to give? Thanks for nothing, NCAA.
And on Friday he will rename Washington, DC as “Obamaville”
How about mount greasy and smelly looking?
Nope.
Our Glorious Leader does not need approval from puny Congress.
By authority of Obama's pen and his phone, of course, and Congress will just look the other way...again.
I thought this was going to be something from The Onion.
Where are the people who represent Americans?
Look, you lowly citizens! The leader has spoken! Do not think that just because he scorns Christian symbols, he does not endorse pagan ones!
Be so good as to acknowledge the Great Narcissist, who knows all, and whose every deed is correct and unquestionable.
This who do not conform will be severely punished.
Hey at least he didn’t try to name it Allah. :-)
I’m pretty sure the law that created the U.S. Board of Geographic names gives it the authority to make that change and no congressional action is needed.
And Army Street will NEVER be Cesar Chavez Blvd.
This is a true statement, my family and I lived in Alaska for four years and our son was born there. Everyone who lives in Alaska already calls it Denali... this is really a non issue. A nice little photo op for a lame duck president.
Look out Flagstaff! The Kenyan is coming for the San Francisco Peaks next which are “generally believed to be central to the Hopi creation story, the San Francisco Peaks are a site of significant cultural importance to many Arizona Natives. Hrumpf! Hrumpf! More of the Kenyan’s goofy “fundmental transformation” shtick.
Yes, actually it should be "C'est quoi" Mountain.
Just think if Obama had to change his name to what people actually call him....
