Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey welcomed the news that Barack Obama is coming to Omaha on Thursday by endorsing the Illinois senator for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Fahey's endorsement carries more than a pat on the back. As Omaha's mayor, Fahey qualifies as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and Fahey said that he plans to attend the convention.

"Barack Obama appeals to me," Fahey said.

"He wants to put partisanship aside," the mayor said, "and we really need that with all the problems we face.

"Give me a guy who wants to sit down with the other side and seek solutions," Fahey said.

In addition, Obama asked for his support. Fahey said he feels very comfortable talking to Obama.
