Maybe he's going to spotlight the reforms he already offered on entitlements, ones that don't cut entitlements to beneficiaries but do trim Medicare costs. I hope he will really promote those and let the Republicans shout it down, saying "NO! We mean cut beneficiaries!" The American people won't stand for it.
