Obama To Allow Mt. McKinley Name Change

it seems they have always called it Denali...some gold miner back in the 1890's re-named it....Tipsy was there,she probably got the guy drunk and talked him into it...hey just sayin....
 
Maybe you Obots can set a shrine of him at the top of it. happy hiking to your Messiah
 
16 months to go, DF, you will make it.

We called it Denali, and McKinley, when I was at Ft Wainwright almost forty years ago. The long timers and natives generally used Denali, but not always,
 
Cool

The government formally recognized the name in 1917, and efforts to reverse the move began in Alaska in 1975. In an awkward compromise struck in 1980, the national park surrounding it was named Denali National Park and Preserve, but the mountain continued to be called Mount McKinley.

Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, introduced legislation in January to rename the peak, but Ohio lawmakers sought to block the move. In June, an Interior Department official said in testimony before Congress that the administration had “no objection” to Ms. Murkowski’s proposed name change.


In a video released on Sunday, Ms. Murkowski cheered Mr. Obama’s decision.



“For generations, Alaskans have known this majestic mountain as ‘the great one,’” she said in the video, appearing in front of the snow-topped mountain, its peak reaching above the clouds. “I’d like to thank the president for working with us to achieve this significant change to show honor, respect and gratitude to the Athabascan people of Alaska.”
 
Love watching Conservatives going apeshit about this........just goes to show how there is nothing so trivial they will go apeshit about Obama for.
 
Obama is once again churning up trouble where there was none before. Expect Eskimos in the streets, demanding bigger igloos.
 
Denali National Park and Reserve is an amazing place to visit. It is truly a surreal experience.
