No small business capital gains tax?

I just heard Obama talking about a proposal to eliminate capital gains tax for some small businesses, does anyone know more about this ? I heard it has not been drafted, what are your opinions on the proposal?

That would be a great proposal, small businesses have already been getting hammered by some of his other policies (increase dividend tax, health care costs)
