Concerned that the plan may become bogged down in debate and conference Obama conducted a town hall style meeting and assured the audience that failure to act with a sense of urgency would result in a deepening economic crisis from which America "may not recover".

Obama, also indicated that all spending related to the American recovery Act would be reported and tracked on the American Recovery Act website.
