President Obama announced plans to create the world's largest ocean sanctuary on Tuesday, expanding 87,000 square miles of protected ocean into 782,000 square miles of protected ocean—a nearly ninefold increase.
According to Fox News, Obama is proposing an expansion of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, to "protect it from drilling, fishing, and other actions." Obama made his remarks via a video message at a State Department "oceans conference," which actor Leonardo DiCaprio also attended as a featured speaker.
The president's plan will likely be opposed by tuna fishing companies operating in the region and lawmakers concerned about the continued use of the president's executive power.
"For years the Obama administration has threatened to impose ocean zoning to shut down our oceans, and today the President is making good on his threat," House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings said in a statement. "This is yet another example of how an imperial president is intent on taking unilateral action, behind closed doors, to impose new regulations and layers of restrictive red-tape."

Do Muslims eat fish ?
So who will enforce the illegal directive?

Clinton did it with the Escalante coal. Can Obama do less?
Don’t worry.
The Tyrant will use improper Executive Authority
to let some fish;
those who pay him and the DNC off,
or act as their vicious agents.
In related news, Obama’s followers have been granted canine harvest rights in Detroit, as a result of his latest executive orders.
That man really hates the American economy and businesses.
This is actually good. The more the Democrats do things like this the more people will realize that no matter what their personal political bent if they vote Democrat they’ll be out of work. (Or, at least not eating cheap fish.)
Did he copy King Neptune on this?

Well I feel better after reading this..
“lawmakers concerned about the continued use of the president’s executive power.”
Maybe they will form a commitee and write him a letter.
There are a few things – certain types of water animals – which some scholars exclude from the permission outlined above. These are:
Crocodiles. The correct view is that eating these is not allowed, because they have fangs and live on land – even though they may spend a lot of time in the water – so precedence should be given to the reason for forbidding it (it is a land animal that has fangs).
Frogs. It is not permitted to eat them because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade killing them, as is reported in the hadeeth of ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Uthmaan, who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the killing of frogs. (Narrated by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah; see also Saheeh al-Jaami, 6970). The rule is that everything which we are forbidden to kill, we are not allowed to eat; if we are allowed to eat it we are allowed to kill it.
Some scholars exclude sea snakes, but the correct view is that as they live nowhere except in the water, we are permitted to eat them, because of the general nature of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “Lawful to you is (the pursuit of) water-game and its use for food – for the benefit of yourselves …” [al-Maa’idah 5:96].
Otters and turtles. The correct view is that to be on the safe side, it is permissible to eat them after slaughtering them properly, because they live both on land and in the sea. Here the rule is that in the case of animals that live both on land and in the sea, the rules concerning land animals should be given precedence, to be on the safe side, so they must be slaughtered properly, except for crabs which do not need to be slaughtered, even though they live both on land and in the sea, because they do not have blood
you didn’t hear ?
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has put in a requisition order for a nuclear carrier, 5 Ohio-class subs and some Aegis destroyers to patrol the new obozo ocean sanctuary.
This will kill a lot of the fishing industry.
And before you know it, we'll be lining up for a bowl of mush.
Give me more, sir....
King Obama, and “poaching”...
