Granted, President Obama is at a fund-raising dinner, so the place is going to look, you know, a cut above your average collectivist hut. (See Willie Sutton on the importance of location in financial enterprises.)
That said, this house in West Lake Hills, Texas, is something special.

The daring architecture isn't for everyone -- not even for everyone who can afford it. Then again, venture capitalists aren't generally the safe and predictable type. Especially when they're Socialists, apparently.
