Earlier, he spoke in the state's capital city of Columbus and after leaving Cleveland, finished up in Cincinnati.
Young, the host of the Internet series, a Date with Deante visited with Obama in a small conference room for about 15 minutes. "Senator Obama and Mr. Young shared a few laughs and talked sports, mostly Cavs," said Young's publicist.

Afterward, Obama left town to finish off the final two days of campaigning. Election Day is tomorrow.
