The audacity! Obama changes the name of Mt. Mckinley to Mt. Denali! Past is the past people!

Not trolling, I am 100% serious here. 

NOPE, there is a laundry list of reasons why those aren't the same thing. I'll go into all of them if you'd like, but for now I'll just stick with one.

Pretty much everyone that lives within at least a thousand miles of this mountain already calls it Denali. A similar scenario would actually be more like if the people in Alaska  had changed the name of Clevland to Doolittle, and then it was changed back.

Pretty much everyone calls it Denali, huh? You live there?

Alaska changed the name to Denali in 1975. The National Park that it resides in is called Denali National Park.

They seem pretty happy about it to me.
