WASHINGTON — You might call North Dakota the antithesis of President Obama’s political base.
Whites make up 90 percent of its population, which is fewer than one million people and mostly in rural areas. Its proportion of people 65 and over exceeds the national average. There was never a chance that North Dakota would give Mr. Obama its three electoral votes.
So Mr. Obama has not given North Dakota his time. It is one of six states he has not visited as president, along with South Dakota, Arkansas, Idaho, South Carolina and Utah. He has gone just once to Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Tennessee and Wyoming.
Mr. Obama’s near-complete absence from more than 25 percent of the states, from which he is politically estranged, is no surprise, in that it reflects routine cost-benefit calculations of the modern presidency. But in a country splintered by partisanship and race, it may also have consequences.

Incidental MS ping.
I don't agree that these states necessarily feel slighted because Hussein doesn't show his ugly face there.
The devil comes down to Georgia, but that doesn't mean we want him here!
Barry Soetoro is America’s first, “historical” blue state only president. He could care less about the red states. Same goes for his “government.” To him, “flyover country” is nothing but airspace for his drones.
Obama stays away from states with pickup trucks, and a rifle in the rear window....
Now that you mention it, I wonder if there’s a connection between the states that have extended concealed carry and his visits.
Uh....yep : )
As a former Kansan let me just say we know a butthead when we see one.
These are truly blessed places then. Who wants the filth and his traffic clogging entourage anyway? All the guy does when he comes to California is shake down the simpletons and tie up traffic.
Wow, not one visit from the jacka$$? Sounds like paradise!
Prior to the last election O’Bumbler could have bought a house in Cleveland. He was here at least once a month and often two or three times. Since the election, NOT 1 VISIT!
“But in a country splintered by partisanship and race,...”
If owebama was a conservative AMERICAN black man those states would have no trouble about him. owebama and the libtards he controls are the ones with racial issues.
LOL exactly.
Which is worse? He came to Oklahoma. Who wants to listen to him? I’m sure they had to bus in the attendees.
It is paradise!! Please don’t encourage him to come here. We are happy without him
I dislike Obama but I have to credit him with this. I was living on the Alabama coast when the oil spill occurred. The sheen was about to enter Perdido Bay and locals has been trying to get booms at the mouth but to no avail. Obama shows up there, sees what was about to happen and there was booms in place the next day.
The fact that he HASN'T been there, might have a little to do with why ND has done so well of late.
Of course, the fact that you can count the Dems there on one hand, and still have a few fingers left over, might have something to do with it, too. :-)
He just visits NC (in Asheville, the liberal mecca) because he gets great ribs at 12Bones!!
John Harwood. It’s DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS like you that don’t even question his past that is another CRIME on top of his ELIGIBILITY scam. It’s plain to see the results of VOTING based on SKIN COLOR. Next time, say in about 100 years when you democrats regain power, maybe check into someone’s character a little.
wait, I thought dissent was “patriotic”? Now it “festers”?
The country is not splintered by race, you race-baiters at the NYT. Obama is a godless, leftist, aconstitutional tyrant. That's what we "whites" despise.
But its all race, all the time, at the NYT. Race is the ultimate trump card played by the moralizing, amoral leftists. FU NYT.
