It says that Congressional Democrats made the choice not to challenge the provisions mentioned in the article. It also says Democrats felt that by making the extension temporary, they may be in a better position down the road to build support for more checks on certain powers.
So, this isn't something Obama asked for but he signed what reached his desk. Second, it still may be changed. Third, we don't know if Obama could have gotten what he wanted or how much it may have cost him politically if he vetoed the bill. I believe this all relates back to what I wrote about some people being naive about how Congress works and having unrealistic expectations.
