| Description | Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat who last week announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee, could become the nation's first black president in 2008, but liberal African-American leaders are hardly rushing to endorse him.
Jesse Jackson, a former presidential contender and head of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, came close to endorsing Obama on Thursday, telling CNN that "all of my heart leans toward Barack" in deciding who to endorse because "he's an extension of our struggle to make this a more perfect union."
But other prominent black liberals have remained hesitant.
