Rogers

VIA NEWS ONE:

WASHINGTON — A White House aide says Desiree Rogers is resigning her post as social secretary, effective sometime next month.

Rogers recently came under criticism for her handling of the administration’s first state dinner. A celebrity-seeking couple from northern Virginia got into the exclusive Nov. 24 affair on the South Lawn without a formal invitation, despite heavy White House security.

Rogers later acknowledged not having staff from her office at security checkpoints to help identify guests. Lawmakers had demanded that she testify to Congress about her handling of the event. The White House would not allow it.

The White House aide spoke on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not been made.

    After giving Security the LIST as to who was invited to the State Dinner, was Security should have gone by! I also wonder how many past administrations had Social Personnel at the gates when they held their State Dinner’s.

    I am really fed up with Blacks folks caving whenever they come under attack; they should realize its to take the attention off of what we should be hearing in the media; allowing that couple to get through should be a matter with Secret Service alone, therefore Ms. Rogers should not have to Testify for anything, once she gave out her LIST!

    What I am wondering now, if she is DISAPPOINTED with President Obama’s leadership, and wanted out. I know I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in how he is STILL BENDING, kissing the Republicans EVIL, HATEFUL AZZES, still trying to PLEASE THEM! I find this very insulting and WEAK!
