Tax cuts by Obama ... some links (Score:5, Informative)
Screw the press - go read the actual source. The democrats did cut taxes. Ignoring the Bush tax cut extensions, the other three big tax cuts:
The stimulus bill is here:

Go through the whole of section B that talks about Tax cuts
The affordable care act is here:

Check Part E / Section 1 for details of the tax cuts
The HIRE act tax breaks are detailed better on the site than on the bill. Here:

This figure refers to contributions made by employees of X Company. So it's the Big Bank's employees here, not the banks themselves, that back Romney. And it's the University and Tech employees, not the institutions themselves, that back Obama.

From opensecrets.org:
So it isn't University of California as the university donating the money, but the UoC employees, or one of their associated groups, doing so.

Check Goldman Sachs contributions to President Obama beyond this recent campaign.
