What is the total amount in dollars of the tax cuts that the Obama Administration siged into law?

I hear the Democrats from time to time say how often Obama cut taxes for the Middle class, but never the cumulative amount in taxes cut. I am curious what that amount comes to. I also wonder what the figure rises to if you include the extension of the Bush tax cuts that Obama agreed to last time ar0und. I figure if Republicans are going to accuse Obama of raising taxes when he lets some of the Bush cuts expire, he can claim those cuts also. I think we can use these figures to rebut Republican claims that Obama spent us into a huge deficit.
