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:

| Location | Number of Speeches | Percentage |
| Washington, DC | 337 | 63.5 |
| Blue States | 116 | 21.8 |
| Foreign Countries | 63 | 11.9 |
| Red States | 15 | 2.8 |
As the numbers clearly show, even foreign countries receive more presidential attention than Americans who dared not to vote for the candidate promising a post-partisan presidency.
Is President Obama afraid to face dissenting opinions or simply not interested in what half of America has to say? Either way this is one more piece of evidence proving he is more concerned with playing to his political base than in leading the nation as a whole.
