I read that as of today, it's not want to change the name, but did change the name.

Our Repub senators both support this, by the way, the first time they agreed with Obama on anything (except for allowing Shell to drill offshore--they like that, too).

It's a large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly to a summit at slightly more than 6000 meters above the level of the sea. It was here for millions of years before the brief Denali/Mckinley/Denali episode....and will be here for millions of years after.

Obama should rename all of those Harding places as 'Obama'. That'll really be entertaining to watch!

If Obama is serious about climate control then I want to see him eat some Stinkhead in Kotzebue.

I hope he stays up there renaming peaks instead of inciting people to execute LEO's.

Don't worry Judy, you're team is still winning the body count competition.

Good for BO, past time.

Am I alone in finding Obama's trip to AK to make a statement about climate change ironic
in view of the 160 tons of fuel he'll burn on the trip? (not counting the accompanying
planes)

Yes at least one C-5 or two C-17s for the motorcade and another one for the support group.

And on to of that it's going to snow on his warmist speech

Spider is right...He just named a mountain after the luxury version of GMC's largest SUV. Good grief.

I'm with Locker! It's a nice gesture but, I think it is to take attention away from allowing drilling in the Arctic!
