Waves? No, it’s a desperate, sad grasping for relevance by a lame duck whose ego can’t countenance the reality of his failed presidency and the fact that nobody cares anymore.
It’s a safe bet that the meaningless renaming of inanimate objects is not legacy material. Naturally, it inflames his political enemies but by now nobody should be surprised at rabble-rousing tactics and he should be roundly ignored. This, of course, will only enrage him which will make it all the more satisfying.

Probably the same way we handle Mt. Rainier National Park vs Mt. Rainier.

That’s a load of propaganda. Mount McKinley is a lot better. There is already is a Denali National Park and this is not good enough? Just more PC jive!

"Obama's move to strip the mountain of its name honoring former President William McKinley, a son of Ohio, drew loud condemnations from Ohio lawmakers, including House Speaker John Boehner, who said he was "deeply disappointed" in the decision."
I am sure that a case of Boehner's finest will take care of any angst he may have.

I doubt it. This is really nothing. Denali is and has been the name of the mountain. We should save our outrage for the many things Obama does that’s worthy of it.

It’s getting hard enough to even find voters who remember that Eisenhower was President. Let alone McKinley.
To: HomerBohn
Does the turd in the white hut have the power to do this? Oh wait - I forgot he as anointed emperor, not president.

I was in Alaska a few years back and recall the locals called it by it’s original name. Would like to hear from Alaskan residents on this matter. This issue seems more of a thumb in the eye than anything else. As far as Ohioans go, they can suck it. Boehner, Kasich, and voting for Obama in 08 and 12 take my sympathies away.

I have renamed the green spot over the septic tank the ‘obama patch’.
I feel like I have accomplished a lot!

I remember noting some years ago that the park was called Denali while the mountain was called Mt. McKinley and thinking now there is a nice compromise that everyone can support. Silly me ... the left never stops whining.

I heard that Mt. Jarrett was at the top of his list. Nah, Lord Foul only Mt. Men. Think about it.

Obamer is fascinated by big things. I’m surprised he didn’t want to name it Mt. Phallus.

There’s less snow and ice in August than any other time of the year. But, hey, that’s just a coincidence.
