CHICAGO — President Obama today called congressional passage of his stimulus plan “a major milestone” in efforts to turn around the nation’s economy, and he said he would soon sign the massive legislation into law.

In the address, Obama said the plan would “ignite spending” in the country, and he praised the members of Congress — almost exclusively Democrats — who “came together in common purpose to make it happen.”

“Once the plan is put into action, a new Web site — recovery.gov — will allow any American to watch where the money goes and weigh in with comments and questions. And I encourage every American to do so,” he said. “Ultimately, this is your money, and you deserve to know where it’s going and how it’s spent.”
