Congress more willing to look at real cuts in some areas, if the commission comes up with a decent plan.

I agree but I suspect that the politics will require Obama to go on the record as being personally in favor of a change to entitlements for the new Congress to touch it. Neither side wants the other to use any needed changes as an attack weapon in the 2012 campaign - it must be a bi-partisan deal.
