President Barack Obama visited his massively expanded National Marine Reserve off the coast of Hawaii, using the opportunity to do some snorkeling with friends away from the eyes of the press corp.
The Papahānaumokuākea marine reserve was first created by President George W. Bush, but Obama has decided to expand it by over half a million square miles.
The new boundaries of Papahānaumokuākea marine reserve are larger than all national parks combined and over twice the size of Texas, according to Forbes’ Trevor Nace.

Where's "Jaws" when you REALLY need him?
If he could, he would dissolve the Marines entirely.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
stinky liberal bodies in the water...
littering...
Not a chance. But I do recall him saying that he considered joining the military at one time but by the time he was old enough, Viet Nam was over so.................. Yeah, right. Can the next president “un-expand” this expansion if “he” wants to?
He should have gone snorkeling through the streets of Louisiana’s cities after the recent flooding.
My first thought. I guess there are some things even sharks won’t eat.
The jet set leftists expect form the core of the global Inner Party. They will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.
If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.
The rest of us will eat insects and swelter — for the good of the planet.
“”Where’s “Jaws” when you REALLY need him?””
Can’t his trip to China or wherever be held off until the hurricane hits HI???????? Something HAS to go right for us eventually!
“But I do recall him saying that he considered joining the military at one time but by the time he was old enough, Viet Nam”
He was old enough to fight for the Viet Cong; what is he talking about? Didn’t they have boy-soldiers?
Sounds like the same kinda life under castro and che(when he still fouled the earth). High on the hog for them, scraps for you. Yeah, those honorable rebolutionaires huh?
He snorkels in a douche bag.
Pres., pet that pretty Lionfish, over here!
All this crap including National Parks are unconstitutional federal land grabs. Art I, Sec 8, cl 17 of the Constitution specifies the requirements for Congress, not the President, to acquire state land. Outsdie of Art I, Sec 8, cl 17 of the Constitution, and Indian reservations, the feds legally own NO land within any state.
States should repossess all illegally acquired lands by the feds. If the state decides to make it a park, then they can make it a state park according to the will of the people of that state.
Home boy Obama is the gift that keeps on giving. Hawaiians and tourists now get to eat even higher priced seafood, if they can get it.
well, when I saw pics of the lagoon yesterday, that was exactly what was on my mind.
fantastic place to put on the mask and fins and go snorkling
Too bad he didn’t drown.
Surprised the SS lets him skin dive, what with Tiger Sharks rather prolific in Hawaiian waters - before political correctness, Tigers were refered to as maneaters
If you look up ‘snorkeling’ in the urban dictionary, it all makes sense.
