I don't want to raise anyone's ire, but it does at least look good. Let's also mention that it's only 6k shy of the starting MSRP for the most expensive Volvo on the market: the XC90. It's also worth 30,000 cups of the most expensive latte in the world, or 23,077 pounds of Organic Baby Arugula — based on a $3.99/ 5 oz price tag (feel free to check my work). There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there's being chairwoman of Hensley, the nation's third-largest distributor of Anheuser-Busch products.

She looks fabulous and extremely classy in her beautiful outfit, just like a future First Lady should look.
It seems as if Alexia is ok with the idea that our politicians dress like elite and/or celebrities. Alexia must be a trust fund baby who doesn't mind spending $300k on her formal wear. Too bad most Americans can't spend quite a sum on a night out on the town. Inequality much?
Well, I think the point here is not how lovely, 'first-lady-like' she looks, though I'm not sure if one's 'first-lady' look should be determined by dress in the first place, but rather the hypocracy of calling Obama an elitist when the McCains clearly have the money to buy their way into any elite institution. Michelle's dress, by the way, is estimated to have cost $148 (http://newsone.com/elections/article/whos-the-real-elitist-now-cindy-mccains-outfit-cost-300000-dollars)
I'm really excited and amazed that this became such a noteworthy post. I think Jessica pretty much covered how I would respond.
Needless to say, if it was Jackie Kennedy in this dress, or the potential first lady of any politician whose economic policy wasn't (in my opinion) going to thrust us into sharper social stratification — I'd probably be fine with saying that it just looked nice.
