He's never been for raising taxes to my knowledge, and repealing the cuts would do just that. That would be especially dangerous if, as is often claimed, we're in a recession.

Furthermore, didn't he oppose the tax cuts primarily because he wanted a corresponding cut in spending also?

I don't really see that as a major change. If he had been in favor of tax INCREASES and now wanted new cuts, I could see your point. But to act like he hasn't always been a small government candidate on taxes and spending is a little specious.
