PHILLIPS: Straight to the president of the United States right now, getting ready to announce his sweeping plan to free up credit and boost lending to small businesses. Let's go ahead and listen in.</s>OBAMA: Thank you, Joe, for that introduction, and for inviting us here to Metropolitan Archives. I want to acknowledge a few other extraordinary guests. First of all, the governor of the great state of Maryland, Martin O'Malley is here.</s>PHILLIPS: The president of the United States there at the Metropolitan Archives, family owned small business that recently expanded with an SBA loan. You heard the president talking about that. And then he went on to discuss more about the package of initiatives that will increase credit to small businesses, small businesses like Metropolitan Archives here. The president hopes to boost the credit of small businesses and give them more capital to grow, all a part of getting out of this recession and becoming a much stronger economy. We'll continue to follow the president's travels, of course, for the rest of the week as he continues to talk about this. Meanwhile, straight ahead, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, wounded in battle, PTSD, eight medals and ribbons on his chest. Too bad none of it -- none of it -- was true. Well, now it's payback time.
