Social Security is not connected to the deficit, yet Obama is set to make a "fiscally responsible" move to cut it. There must be some crime inherent in running as a Democrat when one is really a Republican.
To me, the strategy seems to be to position himself further and further to the right giving those to his left "no place else to go." This gives him a winning coalition. Just as the ultra-conservatives draw in the conservative Democrats, Obama is cutting loose the progressive left in favor of positioning himself to draw in everyone from moderate conservatives leftward.
Traitor.
