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.....

Surely now Desiree Rogers will be forever depicted as a quitter.
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.
Hmmm...

Yep...from the NYT...no question.
Gaakk! I'm weary of these people.

Hip-hop?
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 ?
What gives?
She's as trashy as the rest of the Obama tribe.
it took this long to fire her ... excuse me .. for her to resign?
I was always confused as to her/his gender, anybody know for sure?
Ole barry must have been eyeballin the little hussy and chewbacca got wind of it! Bye bye social sexretary! LOL
Ballerina, Pantywaist, White House Chief of Staff....the same Ernst Röhm Emanuel who likes to call people F****** Retards but is part of the PC Police when other people use such terms......and zer0bama is getting rid of THIS CHICK????
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.
So give her a call and tell her you want to catch up on old times :-)
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??”)
