There is real fear on the left that there will be cuts to entitlements (there will be, the only question is if they will be planned). And then there is those on the left who feel that Obama isn’t moving fast enough.
But the real reason is that the State is very scared of the people right now.
As well they should be. Always.
I have no doubt that Obama will orchestrate riots in the streets if there are ever any cuts to entitlements, even small ones. But there is no way he will send out troops to stop it. He will revel in it.
