Obama actually encouraging Bush Tax Cuts?

Image by Getty Images via @daylifeSeeing this happen is actually kind of shocking for me. If Obama actually gets this through, I would have to say it would be the first good thing he's actually done ever since he's been in office.

Extending the Bush Tax Cuts. Extending Unemployment Benefits and a payroll tax cut.
Then to top it off, If I get this right. It doesn't cost any more money to pass.
Problem here is it still has to go through Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. Time will tell I guess.
