Hoping to get an idea of what the 138-year-old state might be worth, President Barack Obama dispatched a team of appraisers to assess the value of Colorado this week, White House sources confirmed. Colorado has a lot of great things going for it in terms of spaciousness and its convenient central location, so I figured Id have it checked out by experts just to get an estimate, said the president, noting that with its great views, abundance of natural light, and highly ranked schools, the Centennial States value could reach well into the 13 figures. Ill admit theres a little bit of crime and some recent fire damage that might lower the value a little, but overall, I think well find the states in very good shape and a valuable asset to the American people. Obama added that to boost the states value even higher, the nation might want to consider upgrading some infrastructure and completely gutting the Pueblo metro area.
