TIL: Obama renamed the tallest mountain in the USA

[WestcampTX]

So somewhat akin to learning that Pluto isn't a planet anymore, today I learned that the tallest mountain in the USA is not Mt. McKinley as I have known all my life, but was instead renamed by Obama in August 2015 to "Denali." Decided to post this, just in case it's news to anyone else out there.

I had forgotten about that.

It's still Mt. McKinley to most of us.

He named it after a truck/SUV? Fucking idiot.

Just like saying Redskins. It’s still Mt. McKinley.

Had a friendly argument in a bar and bet $100 it was McKinley. Other person said “no way, that’s not what it is.”

We looked it up and we decided on a push.

Coal Starry I know

I choose to believe he named it after my husband's Denali in hopes of winning me over.

No. Fucking. Dice.

Speaking of Redskins, maybe they should rename the Redskins football team to the "Washington Oklahomans," since Oklahoma literally means red people in Choctaw.

One of the few things Obama did right. McKinley never even saw the mountain.

First Burma and now Mt. McKinley?

I believe that was the original name. On an even more retarded note, Antigua names their tallest mountain Mt Obama.

Impeach Obama.
