In the span of one day, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) came out against cutting entitlements and for cutting entitlements.
On Monday afternoon, he tweeted a quote of his in Reuters attacking the cuts enacted under Obamacare to private insurers under Medicare Advantage.
“These Medicare Advantage cuts are misguided, threaten a successful program for seniors, and must be overturned” http://t.co/tEh3zu8fLd

Then on Tuesday, he criticized President Obama for failing to “get serious” about entitlement reform. (Obama withdrew support for cutting Social Security benefits last week.)
It’s sad to know that Pres Obama has taken chained CPI off the table. We need to get serious about entitlement reform http://t.co/Gbcvl4JRDq

Hatch is the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security.
