Would Obama seriously curb ruinous entitlements?

That is a million dollar question and I don’t have the answer to it. I have believed it to be true and have believed it was his inclination. I could be wrong and politics may drive him away from such a course if he determines short term political advantage is more important.

I was wrong to think that Republicans would dare stand up to the the fools who drive their party. That’s apparent from this letter which begins:
