Obama To Host Small Business Forum In Cleveland

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will host a forum on small business in Cleveland next week as he looks to promote his plans to boost U.S. competitiveness.

The White House says Obama, along with several members of his cabinet, will hear directly from small business owners during the Feb. 22 event at Cleveland State University.

Obama has been traveling outside of Washington about once a week as he seeks to promote the competitiveness agenda he outlined in last month's State of the Union address.
