Like a Grand Re-Opening, I guess.
I'm purely puzzled by the news that Obama is going to officially name Mt McKinley to Mt Denali. That happened 20 years ago. Maybe it didn't get recorded on some official document, but the mountain and the park have been Denali on maps for a LONG time.
Aside from the redundancy, I'm still wondering why some things MUST have Injun names while other things CANNOT have Injun names. Mountains, golf courses, islands, and casinos MUST be Injun. Ball teams and commercial products CANNOT be Injun.
Golf is an honor, baseball is an obscenity?
A casino is an honor, a car is an obscenity?
I fucking dare you to find a logical reason for this ratshit.

Couple days later: Now the full reason for Obama's visit emerges, and it makes an odd combination.
(1) Rename a mountain that was already renamed.
(2) Push for total genocide, elimination of all animal life on Earth, to propitiate the Angry Goddess Gaia.
(3) Advocate for more Navy ICEBREAKERS to compete with Russian oil exploration.
That's a strange mix. One redundant and pointless action, one infinitely evil action, and one perfectly normal action, exactly what the leader of a major country should be doing.
But the perfectly normal act is bizarre after the genocidal act. Obama tells us that the Arctic is BOILING BURNING VAPORIZED STEAMY HOTTER THAN 100,000 SUNS AND GETTING INFINITELY HOTTER BY THE DAY! Therefore we need to build more ICEBREAKERS.
Funny, I always thought ICEBREAKERS were designed to get through ICE, not to navigate through superheated plasma.
