White House social secretary Desiree Rogers will leave her post. Rogers was criticized by some lawmakers after an uninvited couple infiltrated President Obama’s first state dinner.
Somehow, I don’t think anyone is going to let you off the hook like the White House did.
The White House turned down the House Homeland Security Committee when it requested she testify about her role in the incident.
The Chicago native and longtime friend of the Obamas has been working to make the White House more of a “people’s house” and has presided over 330 events in her time there, according to Sun-Times.
She said she “completed that work,” telling the newspaper that “our office has been able to lay the foundation for what will be known as the ‘people’s house’ and it has already taken shape.”
Buh bye Desiree, happy job hunting. Hope FLOTUS & POTUS can do without you.

I can’t believe that this is what ran the WH PMM. The Ipod and the DVDs were enough to sack her. Now, she wants in on the corporate jobs?

She was too busy attending those “over 330 official” White House Parties to do any real work McNorman. Plus that doesn’t even count the weekly Wednesday night Kobi Beef bar-b-ques and Super Bowl Shin-Digs and NYC Fly Overs on Air Force One, etc. etc. etc.

That’s right, so how many hours did she actually work?
February 26, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Actual hours worked? Guessing none to speak of…..and what is with that pic of her and biden. They look more like boyfriend and girlfriend. To my mind, it is an inappropriate pic, not that I care as there are more pressing matters to be concerned with. But it does show the lack of grace and protocol this administration exhibits.
Possibly Desiree’s next job should be promoting raves….just sayin’
“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”

Gosh, that is a perfect job for her PssttCmere. Rave Chief.

Oh my. What as become of Anthony?

I don’t know, he may have had his internet sacked by the weather in the north. Several have reported outages, including RBO.

“The peoples house” Allah willing.

Looks like Allah was very UN-Willing.
February 27, 2010 at 12:52 pm
LOL
UN willing is correct.
February 27, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Yes, Allah willing.

The White House has always been, “The people’s house”. Seems lately though, it depends on the people.

According to Desiree Rogers, she made it the “people’s house.”
