House Speaker John Boehner said he is "deeply disappointed" in President Obama's plan to rename Alaska's Mount McKinley "Mt. Denali," joining a chorus of Republican lawmakers, even though the change has roots in the Republican Party.
The peak, which is the tallest in North America, was named after the nation's 25th president and former Ohio governor, William McKinley, in 1896.
Boehner, from Ohio, joined other lawmakers from his state in condemning the move, which Obama announced Sunday.
"There is a reason President McKinley's name has served atop the highest peak in North America for more than 100 years, and that is because it is a testament to his great legacy," Boehner said in a statement Monday. "McKinley served our country with distinction during the Civil War as a member of the Army. He made a difference for his constituents and his state as a member of the House of Representatives and as governor of the great state of Ohio. And he led this nation to prosperity and victory in the Spanish-American War as the 25th president of the United States. I'm deeply disappointed in this decision."

Go get 'em John.
Leave it to McBoner to take a firm stand on something irrelevant.
O’boehner issues a “strongly worded statement”. Well I guess that shows his constituency that he is standing up for them.......
Not to worry as it will be Mt. Trump Jan 21 2017:-)
Boehner loves a win-win.
This lush should be using his energy to condemn the IRAN deal!!!!
O noes, not the stern letter!
Who gives a crap? We have far more serious issues with Obama. Boehner should get excited about those rather than help Obama with his agenda.
Orange-traitor Boehner did not get paid off for this,
so he weeps. Boehner should be indicted for fraud.
Massa Barack done told RINO-John that he will be ‘permitted’ to voice some personal “objections”, so that John’s people will think he’s still one of them.
McKinley was shot by a fellow Communist. I’m surprised it took this long to change the name to appease his base.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
McKinley was a crazy-ass cracker and a conservative.
‘nough said.
McKinley wasn't president until 1897.
‘BREAKING: Obama taping episode of survival reality show with Bear Grylls in Alaska’
President Hollywood isn’t just going up to Alaska to screech about the Armageddon-like dangers of Climate Change (aka Global Warming), he’s also going to be taping an episode of Bear Grylls’ new survival show called “Running Wild” which will air while he’s still president:
For once I agree with Carol Costello’s reaction to this.
Too bad impotent Boehner can’t voice more disagreements with 0Bamma than this.
From what others have said on FR, the people of Alaska call it Denali.
This is theatrical and meaningless opposition from Boehner over a non-issue. He’s still a great big orange turd.
This is the mountain you want to die on, Johnny Boner?

Hey Boehner, the Obamacare mountain continues to grow. Why don’t you do something about that?
