President Obama spent Tuesday in Cleveland listening to more than a hundred small business leaders from Northeast Ohio talk about barriers to their growth. He asked: "How can America help you succeed so that you can help America succeed?"

Guests:

Brad Whitehead, President, Fund for our Economic Future
