76. here's what he said

"So do I. As I told the Speaker this summer, I’m prepared to make more reforms that rein in the long term costs of Medicare and Medicaid, and strengthen Social Security, so long as those programs remain a guarantee of security for seniors."

"rein in the long term costs"

that is a straight up way to say "cuts".

"It seems that our President supports cuts to the Social Security program. He's following through on his promises to get control over these “costly” entitlement programs. He also supports raising the retirement age and lowering the rate at which cost of living adjustments are made. "

a "guarantee of security" is a wiggle phrase to claim that deep cuts aren't really deep cuts. He's "reforming" it on the spending side, instead of working to raise the tax cap, like he claimed during the 2008 primary. He's offering to broker another "compromise" which starts with tax increases off the table.
