Why Is Obama Avoiding Half The Country?

The latest proof that President Barack Obama is ignoring the half of the country that dares to disagree with him and his policies is a recent analysis of more than 500 addresses, speeches, and remarks he has given. Evidently Mr. Obama chose to speak publicly in states he carried in the 2008 election almost 10 times more often than in those states carried by John McCain. (source) Here's the breakdown:

I would submit that his core group of supporters can’t number more than about 15%. He is ignoring - or actively working against the interests of the vast majority of Americans.

Professor Obama is not speaking at your University, he’s speaking at his......

He just keeps gabbing on like a Tenured Professor
Don’t mess with his Syllabus or his Grading Curve...

He’s got rights not to teach a full curriculum
He can flunk you out of his class for any reason

This is a rhetorical question, right?

The answer to your question is because he lied when he said there wasn’t a red America or a blue America and that HE wanted to be president of the UNITED STATES of America. It’s pretty clear his interest is in the BLUE STATES of America.

And of course he happily would have visited Kansas had it allowed him to brag about his NCAA bracket-picking prowess. But since his bracket got trashed by Kansas’ premature departure from the tournament, he surely isn’t going to risk reminding people that he’s not superhuman, as that would undercut the myth he’s been so busy trying to create.

It’s because he started running for 2012 the day after he won the 2008 election. Most of the Stimulus money went to the states he won as well. He’s treating the entire county like the city of Chicago, where the spoils go to the districts that support the winner. He is essentially the president of the states that voted for him and the rest of the country can go to h_ll.

I don't believe he set foot in Kentucky during the presidential campaign! Not that we are complaining...

The left chooses to ignore us, make fun of us, and scorn us, but if we left the Union, they would go under without us. We grow the food, do the lions share of the work, provide the best fighters to the military and hold the country together. As it is, the Obama states are dragging us all under.

He has only been here to Georgia once since his election and that was just in the last few weeks. But we arent complainging, happy to have him ignore us. I wish his policies would ignore us too.

You people want him in your states? Man. Did Texas have to call out a hazmat team to decontaminate the area? He’s radioactive.
