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

You shouldn't take my ribbing so seriously. Your anger regarding this non-issue seems to be both misplaced as well as unjustified. If the Alaskans want to rename their own damn mountain why should the federal government oppose them? Also, you shouldn't take this non-issue so seriously and neither should anybody else (I agree that this is needlessly diverting attention from far more important issues). Finally, if you think Obama is personally responsible for creating this mentality you are giving him far too much credit.

I said he played a big part.  Also read my fourth sentence again.  The reason I'm upset about this is when the story doesn't fit his agenda he just ignores it and talks about something insignificant like this.  I wish the media would call him out on it.  Or are people marching in the streets like that like not a big enough deal for a president to talk about?  Ah he'd probably spin it into "guns are bad mmmkay" again like he always seems to lol

Someone has a mental hangup about Obama I see.   You apparently haven't been paying attention to all the times that he has been talking about the law enforcement situation.   The culture of racism in the country's police forces has been around a LOT longer than Obama ha.  Its insane to try and blame it on him.  Additonally - the fact that any nutter can buy an AR15 in this country is indeed terrible. You shouldn't make fun of it.

 

Finally -  you have spent a great deal more time complaining about Denali than Obama spent thinking about it.    The purpose of the Alaska trip was to gain public support for the fight against man made global warming.   That's a pretty worthy goal but you seem to have missed that while trying to find fault with the fact that he said yes to a longstanding request from the people of Alaska.
