Obama Warms Up to Korean-American Voters Online
Despite Barack Obama's strong showing at the polls, the aspiring first African-American U.S. president isn't letting his guard down yet with the party convention for the presidential nomination still months away.

In a bid to attract more Asian-American supporters Obama posted a message in Korean on his campaign Web site, outlining his policy agenda including health care, civil rights and immigration reform.

The page-long message which was also translated into Chinese and Vietnamese underlines Obama's determination to pass a law that would provide affordable education to even undocumented students.

Obama says he will promote more investment opportunities for minority-owned businesses.

An estimated 1.4 million Koreans are living in the U.S., including those who are naturalized citizens and foreign-born.
