In Richmond, Obama chides McDonnell on Chesapeake Bay
Edited on Sat Oct-02-10 10:03 AM by Guy Whitey Corngood
Most of the back-and-forth between President Obama and invited local residents in south Richmond on Wednesday dealt with the economy and other national issues.

But Obama did field one question on a Virginia state issue. And in his answer, he took a mild swipe at Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell (R).

One man asked Obama about a newly announced crackdown by the Environmental Protection Agency on five mid-Atlantic states, including Virginia, that are contributing to pollution in the Chesapeake Bay.

The man bemoaned that state officials are resisting the EPA's desire to see tougher storm water run-off regulations, asserting that the clean-up effort would create jobs.
