NYT: White House Social Secretary Resigns (Desiree Rogers)
New York Times ^ | February 26, 2010 | Jodi Kantor

Desiree Rogers, the White House social secretary, is resigning her position just a few months after she was roundly criticized for a security lapse that led to uninvited guests crashing the president's first state dinner.

"It's been a tremendous experience and honor to serve this president and first lady in what is really a historic presidency for all Americans but particularly for African-Americans," she said in a brief telephone interview. "That is part of the reason I came out to do the job."

Ms. Rogers was a newcomer to politics as well as to Washington, and in her first year on the job, she became known for bringing an updated, stylish sensibility to White House events, and for bringing outsiders - schoolchildren, in particular - to what she and First Lady Michelle Obama called "the people's house."

But she also came under fire after uninvited guests made their way into the first Obama state dinner, and the White House upgraded its procedures afterward. At Congressional.....

I don’t understand - she was well connected with the Obamas. The State dinner non-invited guest hullabaloo has blown over and she must have loved her work in that she seated herself at the state dinner. So why leave your dream job especially when your boss doesn’t assert his performance goals on you?

The bigger part of this story is that it was established some time ago that the so-called crashers know the Obamas well and have attended many formal events with them before. There’s something else afoot here.

Story from the NYT

Hmmm...

Ms. Rogers was a newcomer to politics as well as to Washington, and in her first year on the job, she became known for bringing an updated, stylish sensibility to White House events, and for bringing outsiders - schoolchildren, in particular - to what she and First Lady Michelle Obama called "the people's house."

Yep...from the NYT...no question.

Gaakk! I'm weary of these people.

Hopefully this is the start of a complete firing of all the Obamaites.... Then they will start talking about how arrogant and narcissistic Obama is the media will not be able to keep quite on the LITTLE DICTATOR in the White House much longer.

American’s already afraid of Obama and his Socialist takeovers.

Desiree Rogers has been thrown under the Garbage Truck to protect the Obama Hussein’s Long time relationship with the Party Crashers! Lets NOT FORGET the Air Force ONE Debacle over Manhattan! That was no photo shoot for a publicity shot for AF-One! They had TWENTY THREE Cabin Stewards On Board! That plane was full of Donors, Friends, Chicago Thugs, etc. and George Lucas was most probably filming it on the numerous low terrifying passes in IMAX for the Seventyfifth Anniversary Documentary he was making of the Tusheegee Airmen with that Alabama National Guard F-15 with the Tusheegee RED TAIL captured in t”THE NEW YORK POST’s” Cover Picture. The WHITE HOUSE disappeared that Fighter on their released pictures, almost like they Disappeared ALL OF OBOZO’S BIRTH, MEDICAL, SCHOLASTIC, PASSPORT, LAW LICENSE, Law Clients, and anything else about the PHANTOM IN CHIEF!!

Yes, she is a knucklehead, as are most of Obama’s people...but I can only be so angry because she has such a strong family resemblance to some of my mother’s side of the family. And they are the Cowsons out of Louisiana.

So the security breach was stylishly sensible ? As opposed to the old, outdated, unstylish state dinners where security was practiced ?

She's as trashy as the rest of the Obama tribe.

My guess is she is just another, assumed to be intelligent, functioning clueless idiot member of the Ozero team that was exposed as a result of the publicity and investigation. I am sure this administration has many more such individuals waiting for their 15 minutes...

Desiree Rogers is a Racist.

Her quote, "It's been a tremendous experience and honor to serve this president and first lady in what is really a historic presidency for all Americans but particularly for African-Americans,"

Could you imagine if a white female White House Social Secretary said, "It's been a tremendous experience and honor to serve this president and first lady in what is really a historic presidency for all Americans but particularly for WHITE-Americans,"

You would never hear the end of it. But, Racism is okay when it comes out of the Obama WH admin.

Ms Rogers was not qualified to do the work of White House social secretary as Obama is not qualified to perform the duties of the president.

She is doing the honorable thing and resigning. Obama should resign as well, except he has no honor, shame or integrity.

She was the one who arrogantly claimed the “Obama Brand” was the best in the world - maybe she decided not so much. She has money, so maybe she thought the fishbowl prestige was not worth it. (”Waah, waah, I want to go to the party, why should I have to stand here and check this stupid list?? Mommy? Daddy? Can anybody fix this for me right now??”)
