Colorado Democrats hope to convince their fellow state lawmakers to rename a stretch of Interstate 25 the “Barack Obama Highway.”

The bill would apply to the portion of the interstate that runs through Denver in recognition of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, which the city hosted. It was there that Obama accepted the party's nomination for president.

Several states have renamed stretches of roads after the 44th president, including California, Illinois, Indiana, Florida and Missouri.

Is it a road that seems to come from nowhere, and you’re not supposed to ask where it originates?

I recommend the section that intersects with I-70 that’s always jammed up.

Used to be called the mousetrap and the redesign didn’t help much.

Only if the road dead-ends at a sewage treatment plant.

A very expensive road to nowhere.

It’s not your fault.

It’s not my fault.

It’s the asphalt!

If that’s a pothole, that’s ginormous.

…in recognition of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, which the city hosted…

To it's everlasting shame. You'd think they would try to hide that fact. This was where we were introduced the super sized ego of the monster...

I think it would be more appropriate to name rest stops after Obama. If you know what I mean.
