President Obama is slated to fly to Texas Wednesday to attend a memorial in West, TX for the victims of the plant explosion there. On Thursday, he will attend the dedication of George W. Bush's Presidential Library on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX.
This will mark the President's third trip to a so-called "red state" since being re-elected. In contrast, he has made 18 trips to states that voted for him in the last election, what we are calling "blue states."
To be fair, several of these blue states qualify as purple, such as Virginia and Florida, nevertheless Mr. Obama won both in the 2012 and 2008 elections.
In total, more than 83% of his domestic travel has been to solid blue states, such as NY, CO, CT and CA. Prior to this week, his only two visits to red states have been to Georgia and North Carolina, the later which voted for him in 2008.

I was going to post something similar yesterday, but didn't know if the mods would let it stay. They probably wouldn't, and they didn't let this one stay. However, they haven't yet deleted the replies that quoted it.
