Former Clinton Cabinet Member Endorses Obama

Booyah!:*
Former Clinton Cabinet member Federico Peña says he is endorsing Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

A formal announcement is scheduled later Friday.

Peña was secretary of energy and secretary of transportation under President Bill Clinton. He was mayor of Denver from 1983 to 1991 and is now a managing partner of a Denver investment company.

Obama, an Illinois senator, trails Hillary Clinton in most polls.

In a written statement, Peña praised Obama's judgment and leadership.

Asked for further comment about his support for Obama, Peña added, "He has better suits, too."

*People don't still say "booyah," do they?
