An Obama administration official tells ABC News that the leading candidate to replace Desiree Rogers as White House Social Secretary is Julianna Smoot.
Smoot, currently the chief of staff for U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, was the national finance director for the 2008 presidential campaign of then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., where she headed a record-setting fundraising operation.
Before joining Kirk’s office, Smoot was a senior adviser to President Obama and co-chair of the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
She is a veteran to Democratic fundraising, having previously served as the national finance director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. She was the senior adviser to former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, raising $21 million for his failed 2004 reelection campaign. A native of North Carolina, Smoot also headed fundraising for former Sen. John Edward’s Senate bid, and she previously held positions under Sens. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn.
The White House today issued the following statement on Rogers:
“We are enormously grateful to Desiree Rogers for the terrific job she’s done as the White House Social Secretary. When she took this position, we asked Desiree to help make sure that the White House truly is the People’s House, and she did that by welcoming scores of everyday Americans through its doors, from wounded warriors to local schoolchildren to NASCAR drivers.

Her sister Holly will be taking care of Obama’s trade policy.
(Okay, I’m making that up, but many freepers will get the reference.)
Smoot? Of Smoot-Hawley?.............
What’s the story behind the Rogers exit?
got it!...........
Crashergate fallout
With all that fund raising experience she should have the Lincoln bedroom booked solid in no time.
WOnder how quick the WH will be turned into a B&B.
Cath the pic of Rogers on the Politico..NOT a happy camper...then do a side by side...
Ya think Michelle had a hand, er..an arm..in this..?
Knowing Rogers history somewhat, she’s probably p*ssed that she’s being replaced by whitey.
You've got that right, hoosiermama!
What the hell is she talking about... "... opening it up to many of those who normally do not get to visit."?
Socialist thugs, commie-loving bastards, criminals... ? WHO?
It will be a good day when the trash at 1600 Penn. gets thrown out the door ... hopefully January '13.
Heck I’m hoping for before that!
But her description (white & blonde) is right up Tiger’s fairway! (Although, I don’t think he’s into cougars...)
Julianna is cute and wholesome looking. If she sends me an invite I’ll attend the WH party. Desiree was a looker in her own way. The First Wookie is a train wreck
Sure does redefine the meaning of "terrific." Besides, wasn't Sunny Davis the chief of protocol?
tee hee heeeee.
