My guess is Obama has seen the light on higher taxes for business. HE will give the lower class a bigger break, keep the Bush tax cuts in place and say something like "we have to get out of this recession first, so I'm going to cut some military for now to make up the difference, and as we rebound res institute the taxes." hoping that we do rebound so his campaign can be one of strengthening the military by taxing businesses.
Anything's possible but-even if Obama wanted to do what you describe-I doubt Reid and Pelosi would let him keep the Bush tax cuts at this point.
He MIGHT agree to defer further tax increases. However, the Bush cuts are going to expire if new legislation isn't passed and, after spending the past eight years calling them 'tax cuts for the rich,' I don't see how he-or any other liberal Democrat-is going to suddenly agree to extend them.
