Ummm, those people cannot be made happy. He could have announced a 1 trillion program to turn CA cities back into a pristine nature preserve and they'd say it's not enough.

[Typical House democrat response ...] "Bush Creates World's Largest Marine Reserve? Why that lying president is just creating more republican votes by having more reserve Marines to ... Oh, this is a coral reserve off the Hawaiian Islands? Nevermind. But he's still pushin' war just to get votes."

I was lurking and the DUers are shocked at this - they approve of it surprisingly but a few say that's because he found out there is no oil there yada yada yada.

This is actually good. Announce monuments, exec order, whatever - make news and get others to respond to it. Every week he should be pushing something out there. Clinton did it constantly. Generating spam news is a helpful technique if in parallel real policies are getting pushed also.

"That ecosystem is now a protected marine area where commercial and sport fishing will be phased out over the next five years. Visitors wishing to dive or take photographs must have a permit and no one will be allowed to remove animals or minerals."
And this is good news how?

President Bush has created the world's largest marine reserve. Mr. Bush acted to protect an area of the Pacific Ocean that is roughly the size of California. Please cite the section in the Constitution authorizing the President authority over Federal lands, waters, and territories. Here's what mine says:
The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.
It sure as heck doesn't say "the President."

Isn't this in INTERNATIONAL WATERS? How does the USA have authority over it.

Mixed feelings. I don't oppose this, but it sounds like a publicity stunt...

All this land is free, and the cost of maintaining this will be free, and Bush is a conservative. (sarc)

Last year I visited So Cal and I noticed a sign at Camp Pendleton where it said that they are keeping the Southern California environment pristine. It is true, the camp has kept a large amount of the California environment safe from development.
Now, I think the libs want to get their hands on the land to develop it.

Unsure what the watermelons will say about it, but it's unenforceable.
It's mostly in international waters and how are they going to stop the Jap/Russian/Korean Fishermen from netting these areas anyway? Start a war every week?
Nice thought, it's meaningless paper.

Just another vast area where some shiny new useless government apparatus can bust peoples balls. Hopefully the fines issued to citizens by the new apparatus will go directly into their operating budget, thereby allowing the hiring of every retarded relative of the managers for decades to come.
Such things are intended to promote the growth of government at the expense of individual liberty, nothing more.
