Who owns the "Bush" tax cuts?

President Barack Obama is calling on Republicans to joining him in repealing the tax reductions first signed into law by George W. Bush, saying doing so would bring fairness to the tax code.
But Obama had a chance to get rid of the reductions at the end of 2010, when they were set to expire and Democrats had a monopoly on Congress.
But he didn’t.
Instead, he signed a measure sent to him by the Democratic-controlled Congress extending the cuts for two more years.
Why didn’t the president do then what he wants to do now?
First because he didn’t have enough Democratic votes, even though a large number of that party’s lawmakers were lame ducks thanks to the Republican rout in the fall election.
He also understood that even if he could get all Democrats to fall in line, he wouldn’t get any Repulbican votes.
So he would fully own a tax hike that had the real potential of further dampening the economy and dooming his reelection chances.
Will Democrats actually put a tax cut repeal up for a vote in an election year? Maybe. They think the class warfare drums they’ve been beating for two years have softenened up voters for soaking the rich.
But truth demands that they no longer be called the Bush tax cuts.
Bush’s tax cuts expired at the end of 2010 and were extended by Obama and a Democratic Congress.
That makes them the Obama tax cuts.
