President Barack Obama on Monday will officially restore Denali as the name of North America's tallest mountain, ending a 40-year battle over what to call the peak that has been known as Mount McKinley.
The symbolic gesture comes at the beginning of a three-day trip to Alaska where Obama hopes to build support for his efforts to address climate change during his remaining 16 months in office.

Me pander-em to Red Brother and save-em planet in same powwow!
Obama was torn between his 2 favorites. Denali or Escalade.
Obama to rename The United States. Henceforeth it will be Bridge Land
I was thinking he’d call it Mount Obama.
What a certified grade-A jackass.
I’m not going to STOP calling it what it is. Go pound sand you politically-correct commie bastard.
I wouldn’t allow him to do it until after he climbed it first. Without oxygen.
MT Promise
(Pronounced empty promise)
His mission is to convince Alaskans that warm weather is a BAD thing? Good luck with that!
Now if you could do that with a tear rolling down his face a la the 70s PSA about pollution :)
It does not see unreasonable that the federal government should use the same name that the state uses.
This really does not seem like an issue that warrants a high level of anger.
I wouldnt allow him to do it until after he climbed it first. Without oxygen. No gloves. Tennis shoes only. Basketball shorts and tee shirt. No ropes.
Another Kenyan violation of the “wall of separation”. All religions are A Okay except for Christianity, right Obonzo?
As far as I know, only one candidate has promised that up to now.
In other news, President Obama announced that he has renamed the White House the Rainbow House, to make it more representative of diversity and inclusion.
I lived in Alaska for ten years. We always called it Denali.
I can not stand Obama, but this is a good call.
Alaska Ping!
Why don't we just leave him at the top of the Mountain? I like that idea.
like the pic but he’s really a queen
I wonder how easy it would be for a group of hunter/gatherers to know which mountain was the highest.
I’d guess the odds that the native Alaskans even gave this mountain a man are 1%
POS Obama probably believes Denali was some guy from Africa.
