Hardly. Refute the scientists that called out your hero's idiocy.
You are unable to grasp that "The pristine waters provide a baseline comparison for important scientific research that monitors and evaluates impacts of global climate change, including benchmarking coral bleaching and ocean acidification" (which is what the press release said) and "protecting it will prevent ocean acidification and combat climate change" (which is what you said) are entirely separate ideas? That's sad.
I doubt that the local people affected by this "decree" watch Fox News.
The U.S. Fishing industry is probably not owned by Fox News either, nor are fisherman likely to be just Fox News viewers.
People who love sea food, and like for it to be available in abundance at affordable prices, are probably not all Fox News viewers.
Your asinine comment, and mention of your bet noir, Fox News, which you were doubtless itching to get in, reveals your ignorance, and is just plain silly.
The standard cover for Obama follies: "Bush did it too, see, see?"
Why do you expound on articles you do not even read? Bush didn't "do it, too."
He just did it. Period.
And Bush did not do this so Americans would stop eating meat, as some low info poster stated.

I am quoting a scientist who knows more about this issue than anyone else.

A scientist addressing a point that either you or Fox News simply made up, namely that the administration claimed that "protecting it will prevent ocean acidification and combat climate change". It's a classical strawman fallacy, assigning your opponent a viewpoint (s)he never held, and perhaps it's time you grasped that.
Don't feel too bad if it was just Fox News pulling the wool over your eyes, though - they are very accomplished liars.

I made nothing up.
And the only serial liar is the idiot squatting in the WH.

Anyone wanting seafood to be abundant should be in the fight against overfishing, but the idea of avoiding the tragedy of the commons just doesn't jibe with the US right wing, does it?
