Blue State Tour

Barack Obama and his team have been making road trips to tout his stimulus program, but only where they see a political advantage:

Obama administration efforts to promote the president's economic stimulus bill have focused overwhelmingly on locations that supported Mr. Obama in last November's election.

The Politico newspaper reports that of the 66 events held since the bill passed, 52 were in states that backed the president. Most of the other 14 took place in locations that narrowly went Republican, and which Democrats are targeting for 2012. Only two southern states, Georgia and Kentucky, have been visited by Cabinet officials for stimulus events. The White House denies any political motivation to the travel.

If I were him I'd probably stay out of Red states right now too. He certainly hasn't become more popular there.
