Which is a good motto to follow.Likened to don't open a can of worms.Candidate William McKinley,a Republican used " leave well enough alone " in his bid for the White House.Which more than explains why the current POTUS,a TROUBLEMAKER and former Community Organizer, or as his wife { Michelle } explained in 2007 ... a Community Activist. You know ... like an Al Sharpton. Today the highest mountain in the States { Mt. McKinley } was downgraded and renamed without as much as conferring with Congress,let alone We the People.Typical,SOP of a " troublemaker President ". Git em' used to it.Yank their chains.Show 'em who's boss. Yes ... Barack Obama you certainly have demonstrated that.And a whole lot more.Or Mores.Mores in this once great,proud land have never been more at risk and vaporizing at such speed.At this clip,it won't be long before the difference between right and wrong is merely academic. Which of course pleases this POTUS,advertised as an academic and former Harvard Law review President.Strange how not a single law review of this Harvard law alum is reviewable. The better to steer clear of any hurdles.Any mountains. Let alone the Highest peak in the land,formerly named after a President. From Ohio.A Republican. I guess this is Obama's way of diminishing the GOP. Like I say ... a troublemaker. That's a Joke,ah say,that's a joke son. Obviously the jokes on We the People. What else is new.
Do you people not take the time to read that the PEOPLE (You know the citizen thingy) of Alaska have been calling the Mt. Denali for decades. They called it Denali in 1980 when I visited the park. The only "people" who don't call it Denali are a group of Congressmen from Ohio.
The people of that state wanted this so let them have it. There are SO many things that this POTUS does that is wrong but for once he is doing the right thing. The federal government should not be going against the will of the people in things that are not constitutionally required. Stopping a mountain from being named something (or naming it in the first place) is not in the purview of the federal government's mandate as provided for in our constitution. So in my eyes Obama is just correcting a original governmental overreach.
So why Obama and why now.because He's visiting Alaska and wants to INGRATIATE himself to the folks before his visit.That is a form of Graft. I don't think for a split second if that Mountain was named after F.D.R. Obama would spend the time it takes to clear his throat to dismiss the entire idea'r. Isn't is amazing how easy it is to Politically figger this current POTUS out. It is right what the pundits have been saying since Obama's 2nd year in office. Literally Everything is Political to him. That's the mark of a tin-horn dictator. Promising " a new era of openness in our country " , President Obama said : " Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this Presidency ". -- CNN ,January 21,2009.
The name change was backed by several Alaskan Republican governors and Alaskan Republican Congress members. There have been bills before Congress to change the name back to Denali for 40 years - the ONLY people against the change are a few Congressmen from Ohio. The subject has been in the public eye for 40 years and you're wailing about this as not transparent? Just another WTF moment.
