If Obama was truly a dictator, Mr Ex-Congressman, you wouldn’t be able to cuddle up with your guns while you weep your sad salty bitter tears.

This would make sense if Obama had named it after himself. But I really don’t think letting the locals choose the names of their landmarks exactly counts as tyranny. What a bunch of bizarre bozos.

“He thinks he is a dictator and he can change the law,” Regula told the Dispatch. “The law is it’s Mt. McKinley and he can’t change a law by a flick of the pen. You want to change the Ohio River? You want to go around the country and start changing the names of these places because it is politically expedient?”

answer: no. but alaskans should be able to name the mountains in THEIR state. once again floating a false argument. typical republican conspiracy bs.

Republicans are the only people who believe the president is a dictator.

Word on the street is that Ralph Regula is a dick-tater.

No, sir, he’s merely operating within the stated realm of his job description.

You can get all bent out of shape about it, but you have no standing.

Go away.

"Barack Obama’s decision to change the name of North America’s tallest mountain demonstrates that the President “thinks he is a dictator.” Hmmmm, I don’t remember Hitler changing the names of major landmarks in Germany. Neither do I remember Lenin doing the same. Guess Obama is a whole new breed of dictator.

Who the fuck cares what a FORMER Ohio congressman thinks. Really TPM. We could imagine what republican reaction to this would be so please don’t waste time on this non-storyl. Get over it

Indeed. If you call it McKinley, you’re dismissed as a poser.

Who the hell does Obama think he is honoring the wishes of the Alaskan poeple? Its up to Ohio to dictate how Alaska names her Mountains. Everyone knows that.

The EX-critter has been fighting the change to Denali since 1975 (see Wiki page), and he’s still trying from the grave, er, the retirement home.

It’s isn’t the law. If it was law I’d agree but the underlying premise of his argument: that Obama is unilaterally changing the law is false. Not wrong mind you. False. He knows he’s full of shit but hopes you don’t.

“Someone is having a sadz.”

Maybe he misplaced his dentures. And ex-congressman from Ohio losing it over the renaming of a mountain in Alaska. The obscurity of it all …
