Cleveland Mayor Says He's Backing Obama For President
POSTED: 1:12 pm EST February 21, 2008
UPDATED: 1:21 pm EST February 21, 2008

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said he's backing Barack Obama for president.

Jackson made the announcement before Obama's wife, Michelle, spoke at a rally at Cleveland State University Thursday.

Jackson had said as recently as last week that he had not decided whether to endorse Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Both candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination replied in writing to Jackson's recent proposal that there be a new emphasis in Washington on solving urban problems.

Jackson's endorsement comes five days before Clinton and Obama are to debate at Cleveland State.
