I think Obama sees this as the way (the only way) to get serious stimulus for an economy that desperately needs it. Unfortunately, because the White House hasn't been willing to admit that the first round wasn't enough and more was needed, he can't come out and say that's what he's doing, which prevents him from persuading Democrats that it's a good thing.
