If you look at President Obama's background, he's clearly a person of the socialist mindset. He may not be as radicle as some of his mentors but this is a man that clearly endorses the distribution of wealth philosophy.
Obama became a community organizer because that is what community organizers do. They redistribute wealth while having the luxury of not having to worry where that wealth actually comes from. They just divy out of a full bucket.
As president of the United States you don't have this luxury; especially, when you are in office during one of the worst economic downturns in the country's history. Obama would clearly love to continue carving the US up into what he views to be a socialist utopia but the problem is the bucket is now empty and people are looking to him to fill the bucket.
Obama has never had to face such a situation in his life. He never thought about how the bucket gets filled in the first place. So now he goes to his economic advisors from Wall Street (Goldman Sachs and The Federal Reserve). These guys perfectly know, you have to cut taxes to stimulate the economy and raising them will choke it. Bill Clinton was called in to sell this very true concept. Raising taxes during a depression kills the economy. Obama may not like this but it's economic reality and if he doesn't fill the bucket, he will have nothing to redistribute later.
So Obama wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants a socialist government but has never been faced with an empty bucket before. So now he has to think more like a capitalist to fill the bucket because socialism can't work with an empty bucket. Something the Soviet Union came to learn the hard way. So it's not Obama really asking for the tax cuts, it's Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers. You have to fill the bucket before you can steal from it.
So what Obama is faced with is a hard cold lesson on economic reality. Never before in his life has he even thought about where the water in the bucket comes from. While community organizing the well was always full.
