    Obama removed a Republican president's name from a Mountain

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/mount-mc...ali-1440970559

    Hear ye, Hear ye
    On August 30th of the year 2015, the noble King Obama has decreed that the tallest point in America no longer be know as Mount Mckinley, but renamed to Denali and as such conservatives on social media shall lose their shit.

    With all the anti-left posts popping up, hears something nice to LOL about.

    Some right-wing "news" site:
    Obama Renames Alaska’s Mount McKinley ‘Denali
    Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in the United States at 20,237-feet tall, was officially renamed by Congress in 1917 in honor of Republican President William McKinley.

    Now President Barack Obama aka “the Troll-in-Chief” has decided to rename the mountain Denali, its native Alaskan name.
    Funny tweets
    Why did Pres Obama change the name of Mt McKinley-why not let the people decide?
    This decision by the Administration is yet another example of the President going around Congress (4/5)

    Some great lolworthy replies

    Oh no, a mountain was renamed. Let's all freak out about how much other people care about something. They changed the name back to the name the natives in the area used prior to a bunch of white dudes a continent away decided it was named something else. Oh god, the horror. McKinley had never even been to Alaska when it was named.

    I read the story earlier, hardly a big deal. McKinley had never even visited Alaska, if people from Ohio are that upset, they can name something in their state after him.

    I haven't had many things to praise Obama for lately, but this is one of them. More places should have their native names officially restored.

    I see no problem with the name change, the mountain was originally called Denali after all.

    Alaska tried to rename it, got blocked by Ohio.

    Federal government reversing the oppression of Alaska by Ohio. Why are you against states rights?

    The original name for Africans was neger/negar, better known as "nigger".

    Shall we be restoring that as well?

    Because under the wisdom of Fuhrer Obama and your logic ...this would be so.
