Eagerly awaiting the moment when a notable Republican says that President McKinley has been assassinated for a second time.

5? That seems too long to me. We're gonna miss him like 20 minutes into the next president's term, depending on who wins.
Maybe 2. We may miss him soon after he is out of office, but it takes societies considerably longer to realize they were living in a golden age.

Seeing as McKinley himself never apparently even went to the mountain, it's only natural that it should be renamed back to it's real name of Denali

There's no such thing as a real name. The mountain likely had dozens of names from the dozens of cultures who inhabited central Alaska before the Koyukon Native Americans.

Regardless, this is a nice gesture. I'm glad that the mountain's legal name is being changed.

Being an Ohioan, this truly ruined my day. A mountain I've never seen, nor thought about in years will sorely be missed.

Damn that man and his lack of respect for cultural history!

Seeing some of the local responses here are great.

"Well it's about time he's done a single good thing, but he shouldn't waste the taxpayers money coming up to Alaska for no reason, stay away Obummer!!!1"

"Don't be surprised if it's renamed Mt. Obama in 60 years because he visited Alaska...just sayin'!"

Good call. It's the indigenous name and it's what a lot of people in Alaska refer to it as, anyway. And it sounds cooler, too.

like isn't really the only important part of mckinley's lasting legacy the fact he was assassinated so that TR could become president
He approved the annexation of Hawaii and did the Spanish American War and the US gained Spanish colonies under his administration.
