Just stop and think for a moment. Ohio had 7 presidents and the best one was William Howard "So-Fat-He-Got -Literally-Stuck-In-A-Bathtub" Taft.

Ohio is its own punchline when it comes to presidents. Obama isn't insulting them, he is giving them a mercy killing.

TBF it was a really narrow bathtub and by the standards of today he'd only be sort of porky.

I have to laugh at anyone bitching about this. If they wanted him to maintain the status quo they should have created a We The People petition asking for it to be changed thereby guaranteeing he wouldn't do poo poo with it.

That article had a purpose, and you guys fell for it instantly. He only renamed the mountain to rouse anger in order to make you forget that he does a tour around Alaska warning about climate change and global warning and at the same time gives out drilling permits in Alaska to Shell.

A name is just a name. And can be changed again or you can call it what you will. But a possible oilspill in Alaksa, oh boy. And no one will care bcause so few people live there and it is far away from cosy mainland USA, plus MAH MOUNTAIN NAME!

if theres gonna be an oil spill I'd rather have it hundreds of miles away from where anyone of importance lives. Its a win win

It took about 20 years for the exxon oil spill lawsuit to get settled, Alaska got 500 million dollars, their CEO retired and got 400 million dollars with their golden parachute and Exxon's net profits were 83 billion dollars, so we got about three days worth of their profits that year. When I was a kid people would get buckets of clams and tubs of shrimp. You'd give out some of your bounty to your neighbors and when they got something they'd share it with you, that became a lot harder to do after the spill and the local economy, which was based on fish prices never quite recovered either. I think it's pretty neat how the media barely covered the deep horizon gulf spill and nobody is talking about the long term effects. Incidentally a law has been passed severely limiting how much you can sue oil companies for when it comes to spills, I think it's down to 150 million or so.

I didn't say you don't I just said this is a distraction and every body is falling for it.
Plus it is highly questionable whether drilling should take place in such a fragile ecosystem.
But I won't go into a debate about that. You people have the cheapest gas prices anyway and it would be easy to double car mileage with more efficient and less brag-about my bhp technology.
But your president would rather risk killing of a precious ecosystem than to go the other route and people seem to agree with him.

lol

The president should kill off your precious SA posts. For the good of mankind.

McKinley's greatest contribution was getting snuffed so Teddy Roosevelt could waltz right on into the office the party had been trying to cockblock him from.

They should carve TR's face into Denali as a further insult to Ohio.

I bet he commissioned the geological/cartographic survey that confirmed Denali is the largest mountain on the continent. Also, there were the wars of aggression he did. Those were substantial.

Cancel Ohio's retroactive statehood so everybody knows they only became a state six years before Alaska because Ohioans are dumb.

Then erase McKinley from history, since a citizen of a territory isn't eligible to be president.
