Not since the New Deal

4. Sure.

There are many, many examples of Obama's attempts to cut Social Security, starting with the naming of the "Deficit Commission" shortly after his inauguration - who's who of Social Security foes led by Alan "Social Security is a milk cow with 310 million tits" to Erskine Bowles, who brokered a deal with Newt Gingrich under Clinton to slash Social Security (Congress wouldn't play along that time). When given the opportunity to strike, during last summer's fully-fake debt crisis, Obama made his move:

Rep. Conyers: Obama Demanded Social Security Cuts--Not GOP


"We then offered an additional $650 billion in cuts to entitlement programs -- Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security."
- Remarks by the President, July 22, 2011

As to Medicare: "According to five separate sources with knowledge of negotiations -- including both Republicans and Democrats -- the president offered an increase in the eligibility age for Medicare, from 65 to 67, in exchange for Republican movement on increasing tax revenues." - Obama Offered To Raise Medicare Eligibility Age As Part Of Grand Debt Deal

This is not what Democrats do.
