Obreezy don't give a fuck now.

It's a shame there isn't a better quality gif of this available.

 

[Gattsu25]

Awesome news.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Lame duck, don't give a fuck.

 

[Zoned]

Sounds right and makes sense.

Here's your FreeRepublic reaction thread:

My favorite response thus far?


*giggle*

lmao this one got me in tears

It’s still Mount McKinley.

Who cares what some bureaucrats say? They also say Pluto isn’t a planet!

It's like the shit you'd expect on a right wing message board in a GTA game.

Fox news reports, Emperor Obama changes god given name of American soil to Arabic nickname

 

[Thequietone]

It his birthday or his anniversary where he eats Reagan's favorite foods like some massive fanboy?

He got married on Reagan's birthday so he would never forget his anniversary, and he eats Reagan's favorite food every anniversary. He also said God told him to marry his wife after one date.

Why is the president visiting Alaska historic? Do they never go there?

Why is the president visiting Alaska historic? Do they never go there?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ual-history-of-presidential-visits-to-alaska/

Obama departs Aug. 31 for what will soon be the most extensive Alaska tour in history by a sitting American president. While one other sitting American president has spent more time in Alaska -- Warren G. Harding -- Obama will travel further by journeying further north while also touching southern parts of the state. (Having government planes and helicopters at one's disposal -- something Harding lacked -- helps.)

 

[NeoXChaos]

President Walker will rechristen it as Mt. Reagan in a couple of years, so enjoy it while it lasts.

No. That will be reserved for Mt Rushmore.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

What are we going to remember William McKinley for now? I mean, besides being president at the turn of the 20th century and getting shot?

Also, i should get that Denali Extreme Moose Tracks ice cream.

No. That will be reserved for Mt Rushmore.

Where Reagan's face will replace Roosevelt's. We don't want to honor progressives here.

 

[Manmademan]

Cant wait to see the conservative meltdown over this.

I will update when news starts rolling in,,

Eagerly awaiting the revisionist narrative about how McKinley was our greatest president ever and Obama is shitting on a true American hero

 

[Darknight]

Really wish he would of renamed it "Mt. King 'bama". Maybe people would of giving it the nickname "the big O".

 

[Savitar]

I hope he watches it, you can see Russia from there.

Putin might ride across to attack bare chested on a bear!

 

[trinest]

Yes the mountain should be called Mt Obama instead.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

When's the vote to allow him a third term?

 

[Uzzy]

When's the vote to allow him a third term?

Vote? Surely Obama will seize power like the God Emperor he is.

 

[Slayven]

Home come people yell "PC run amok" every time a white male doesn't get something?

 

[SliceSabre]

SO IT IS DECREED BY MY LORD EMPEROR OBAMA

 

[Regiruler]

I hope it's formally "Mt. Denali" as the lack of a surname just sounds weird.

 

[danm999]

Sort of rhymes with Benghazi.

Follow the money people.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Sounds like someone from Boston trying to say Donnelly.

Being from Ohio I guess this means I'm supposed to vote republican now.

 

[Denali]

Finally.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Next up, Ohio name change to Obama.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Turns out I've been celebrating without even knowing it

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I bet the GOP must be in 'Denali' now!

 

[JC Lately]

Fuck, now all my trivia games asking what the tallest mountain in North America is will be out of date. First Pluto now this? FFS.

Thanks, Obama.

 

[Aselith]

Home come people yell "PC run amok" every time a white male doesn't get something?

He already got something, it was taken away from him. But, he did the same thing to get his name on the mountain so turnabout is fair play I reckon.

 

[Byakuya769]

Every time I see this, I think, "Shit!! He found the chaos emeralds!!!!!"

 

[Dryk]

Hopefully people outside of the country in question notice this time <eye twitches>

Fucking map industry lobbyists warping the constitution again.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Next up, Ohio name change to Obama.

Welcome to Obama. You are now stuck in Obama.

 

[TheGrue]

That's what I've always called it and I've never lived in Alaska. I think it's a good move.

 

[Amory]

William McKinley is going to be sad when he finds out

 

[Heartfyre]

I wonder if the opponents to this change will go through a period of Deniali?

 

[Polari]

Wow he renamed a mountain.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Here's a bit the Daily Show did about the situation to give this story some context.

Man, there literally is no reason why that mountain is named after this president.

 

[cntr]

De'nailed it.

 

[TTOOLL]

Obama is too good.

 

[massoluk]

A lot of people got the headlines wrong though. Obama isn't renaming the mountain, he is restoring the name.

 

[Trojita]

Jesus Christ, you can't stop this guy.

Next thing you know cats and dogs are going to be getting along.

Emperor Obama has no power there.

 

[Polari]

A lot of people got the headlines wrong though. Obama isn't renaming the mountain, he is restoring the name.

Still technically renaming, no?

 

[FyreWulff]

A lot of people got the headlines wrong though. Obama isn't renaming the mountain, he is restoring the name.

Also standing up for state's rights.

A Democrat that actually practices Republican ideology!

 

[Darksol]

Haha, fuck you McKinley supporters!

What's this? He's been dead 114 years? Ah, fuck it, give it to somebody else

 

[davepoobond]

I don't see the point of getting angry about it. If you say Mt Mckinley you will still know which one it is at this point.

If a republican president reverses this that'll be fun

 

[BigWeather]

What are we going to remember William McKinley for now?

I will continue to remember him for his greatest accomplishment -- getting shot and killed to allow the POAT Theodore Roosevelt (sorry Obama, you're close but nope) take over.

I visited Denali for the first time last month and that Mt. McKinley / Denali thing (mountain was Mt. McKinley, state and national parks are Denali) was annoying. Glad he sorted it out.

Obligatory pic from my visit -- spent two days in the park with pissing rain and though I was only 25 or so miles from the behemoth didn't come close to seeing it (the stat they give is it is only visible about 30% of the time) but then outside the park and about 75 miles from the mountain the clouds parted and...

[Baron von Loathsome]

Tin soldiers and Obama coming, four pissed in Ohio

 

[Bluth54]

Jesus Christ, you can't stop this guy.

Next thing you know cats and dogs are going to be getting along.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!


On a more serious note good to see the name of the mountain is getting changed back like it should be.

 

[Dead Man]

I only ever new the name Denali from the Julian May Galactic Milieu series, I thought it was Scottish for some reason lol. Good change.

Damn, that's a beautiful picture.

 

[eBay Huckster]

I'm sure there's something impressive in Ohio they can name after McKinley.

contemporary Ohio doesn't even want to name anything after McKinley, though

(the congressional delegation doesn't count 'cause fuck those guys)

 

[speedpop]

World Atlas companies win once again from the shadows. As if forcing the Soviet Union to break apart wasn't enough.

Damn them!
