Oh wait. Was that supposed to be a "but Obama did it" gotcha? I'm bad at understanding social context online.

If it was, then all I can say is that it's better to have standards by which we judge everyone fairly, instead of giving failures like trump a pass because he happens to be Republican this week.

It was an example of a president using executive power to rename a geographical feature, because the previous post was suggesting that such action is unheard of. It's not. Having said that, when Obama did it, it was in response to about 35 years of petitions and requests, and not the actions of a weak minded manchild craving for attention
