When I lived in Alaska during grade school and on my return trips up there in past years, it has always been known as Denali. Tourists were the only ones to call in Mt. McKinley.

...but the way they're doing it is just slimy.
Finally, a long standing wrong has been righted. [Tooth]
I heard it was a map maker that named it after a Pres. that never even saw it. It's like naming Main St. Ronald Reagen Way or MLK Blvd. It's still Main St.
You can call it Mt. Susan if it makes you happy.

Panties need to be put in a bunch over much more important things than this.
Yeah it's annoying, but I'd rather have him focused on renaming stuff trying to help his legacy - than shoving some new EO through that messes with my rights again.
I have a friend that just climbed it 2 weeks ago. He posted on FB today that he has to go back and do it again... True story.
So they changed the name of a mountain to match my grand daughter's name right after she moves up there? Yup, I'm cool with that.....
Not cool with how it was done in this great age of PC poop tho.
I say we fight BHO tooth and nail on this. That way we draw resources and his attention away from gun control. It will again shine a light on his habit of going around congress by waving his scepter. After we keep up the pressure for a while we will finally capitulate and he let him win to show we can be reasonable and he can have his way.
Buy the way I like the idea of going back to it's original name. Just be thankful it's not Mt Obama, you know that's what he really wants.
Of all the crap we.have to worry about with this administration this is about #876 on the list.
I have a feeling if we did this, he'd use that as a distraction for us, to go and do what he wants while no one is looking. He certainly has the resources to do so.Quote:
