Editorial Board JUL 27
Entitlements belong in Mr. Obama’s discussion of the federal budget.
As the Washington Post pointed out: "As president, Mr. Obama is the one player in the capital’s drama best positioned to represent the national interest on entitlement reform; as a second-term president, he is also in the best position to take the political heat for doing so. It is still possible that he will do so in his remaining speeches. Until then, though, Mr. Obama’s vision for the country can only be described as incomplete."
Should President Obama step up more honestly?
