No, Obama was president. He had bigger things to do.
It was Connolly that helped Mosaic District get built.

"But Gerald E. Connolly has not forgotten. Mr. Connolly, who is a second-term member of the United States House of Representatives and a former local official for this corner of Northern Virginia, is familiar with Merrifield’s past and present. He remembers thinking to himself, “What a waste of land,” after being elected in 1995 to the Fairfax County board of supervisors. “We have this aging movie theater that’s surrounded by acres of surface parking,” Mr. Connolly said.
Devising a solution required some imagination. When Mr. Connolly and others first began talking about redeveloping Merrifield, the area was known for its clogged traffic, fast-food restaurants, a dilapidated auto repair shop with quirky decorations, an industrial equipment rental business, a multiscreen movie theater and a huge regional post office."
