| Leadified said: So reading up a quick history of the situation. The mountain was (unofficially) named McKinley in support for his bid for presidency and then officially a number of years after his assassination. However the native name has always existed beforehand. The Alaskan legislature requested the federal change back to Denali back in the 70s. While Alaska have already been using and encouraging the name. So what exactly is the issue here? The people of Alaska know it as Denali. It's on their land, not Ohio's. It has been known as Denali for as long as anyone can remember. This is a non-issue. |
Somehow anything even remotely connected to Obama is an 'issue'.
