Yes, "entitlement" sounds EXACTLY like a Cato Libertarian.

And yes, Greenwald uses the word in his rant:

Doesn't matter that Wapo uses it too. Social Security is not an "entitlement;" it's a self-funded retirement insurance program administered by the USG. Trust a CATO man to call it that. Greenwald is basically reaching for any stick he can find to beat the President with on the night of his reelection in a typical display of nasty, mean-spirited and inaccurate ODS.

Obama is beating himself with a stick and sounds EXACTLY like a Cato Libertarian since Obama uses that word.
