I never knew the two were the same. For real?

Dead white guys get no respect. This president was assassinated and this is the thanks he gets.

Yup, and I like Denali. Has a nice ring to it.
To: al baby
At least he’s not naming it after Michael Brown or Trayvonn Martin

Yup. I’m surprised he didn’t change it to Czolgosz in honor of the Republican’s assassin.

He's saving Mount Rushmore for his son Trayvonn Martin.
Don't get me going on what he's saving for Michael Brown.

I’m sure there are plenty of things that are going to be named “Obama” that can be renamed in a few years.

Just wait til he comes to your neighborhood to rename your street to Martin Luther King Blvd.

I believe the locals have always call it Denali.
I’ve seen Sarah Palin call it that many times.

Dead white guys get no respect. Neither do us living white guys. We're tax slaves for the mooching class now.

Does the president have the authority to arbitrarily change a geographical place name?
To: al baby
About time. I don’t know anyone who still refers to it as McKinley.
To: al baby
Alaska has been trying to get it renamed back to Denali for 40 years.
To: Bratch
I believe the locals have always call it Denali. When wife and I were in Alaska two years ago, that is indeed what the Locals called it.
