Bang 4 Your Buck: $2 Million Homes (George W Style)

Last week, real estate and political junkies were abuzz about W and Laura’s recent splurge on a second Texas home, which, evidently, is in a pro-Obama county. The soon-to-be first couple is rumored to have purchased a Preston Hollow pad for $2.1 million at 10141 Daria Pl, Dallas, Texas. Not that we don’t trust President Bush’s judgment to get the most bang for his buck, but we thought it’d be interesting to see and compare $2 million homes for sale across the country.
