Robert Kuttner at Polico says that "well-placed sources" have indicated that Obama and "key Senate Democrats" are planning to "embrace much of the Bowles-Simpson plan - including cuts in Social Security." Bowles-Simpson refers to the very scary "Cat Food Commission" -- i.e., Obama's deficit commission.
Kuttner goes on to suggest that Obama will drop this bomb during the next State of the Union address in January.
I hope Kuttner is wrong.
And I hope Obama realizes that it would likely seal his fate as a one-term president.
