Bristol Palin criticized President Barack Obama's decision to restore Mt. McKinley's name to Denali, arguing he should instead be "worrying about the radical jihadists in ISIS."
The president is wrapping up a three-day trip to Alaska to shine the national spotlight on climate change. Palin, however, wrote in a blog post that Obama should instead spend time "check(ing) out our oil fields" or opening "our pipeline" to reduce dependency on oil from the Middle East.
"The President should be worrying about the radical jihadists in ISIS who are gaining land and power everyday as they enslave, rape, and murder their way through the Middle East," Palin wrote Tuesday. "But instead he worries about renaming a mountain."
She continued, "By the way, no one is buying the 'Denali is what the Alaskans have called it for years' line. Ive never called the mountain Denali .. and neither does anyone I know ... It's Mt. Mckinley (sic) It always has been and always will be to most of us."
However, at least one person Palin knows has used the native name for North America's highest peak: her mother, former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. ..............(more)

(4,640 posts)I am sure she loved being nicknamed "the great one". I bet she bragged about it to everyone she knew - except, of course, Bristol. Bristol has never heard of it before. This is just too funny! Thanks for educating me.
btw - love Pres Obama's name "Renegade", and the names of the first family!
