Sarah Palin Uses The Pen Name 'Denali' To Bash Obama's Alaska Trip

No one knows Alaska like its former Gov. Sarah Palin.

So the former Republican vice presidential nominee wrote a listicle Friday over at IJReview to tell President Barack Obama just how badly he failed at getting to know Sarah Palin's Alaska.

Among the things Palin said Obama missed were visiting the Hubbard Glacier, which she says is actually "growing" despite warnings of climate change; meeting with oil industry workers; and visiting the Alaskan coast, from where she insisted that yes, "you can actually see Russia."

Curiously, Palin wrote the listicle under the name "Denali," which an editor's note helpfully explained was the code name the U.S. Secret Service used for her during the 2008 presidential campaign. Elected officials in Ohio, the home state of President William McKinley, heavily criticized the Obama administration this week for changing the name of Alaska's Mt. McKinley — the tallest peak in North America — back to its original name, Denali.
