Related: About this forumcritique sought on NY Times article entitled "Dissent Festers in States That Obama Seems to Have....
Forgotten" (end of headline)
1, The headline seems a bit overwrought. 2, Bush never went to all 50. I'll have to look for other travel records for Presidents.
Your critique, please ?

The whole unity thing is a mere marketing slogan. We're hopelessly polarized in our politics, and our politicians respect that dynamic.

the only one he didn't go to was Vermont.
