The media is reporting that White House Social Secretary Desirée Rogers resigned today. The media and republicans had been pushing for her dismissal after at least two uninvited people were able to gain access to a White House function a few months ago. Although it's primarily the job of the Secret Service to provide screening for entry to the White House Ms. Rogers was still blamed by many.
So apparently Obama didn't want it to appear that he threw another African American, Van Jones was the first, under the bus so he waited until the media cycle changed a few times and then asked for her resignation. Shame on Obama for letting the republican crazies and the media push him around and shame on him for so easily dismissing African Americans from his administration.

That's too bad. Wonder who's going to replace her.
Val, I love that photo of the beach, reminds me of where I used to live.
@cactusrose
They said the woman's name on the news who is thought to be replacing Desirée but I don't remember her name. She already works for the government in Washington.
Wow, you were lucky to live in a place like that. I'd love too. I can look at that photo and dream! Lol
At least he waited a few months to show her the door, maybe he didn't want to embarrass her?!?
@Reggie
Well if that was the case he should have waited a lot longer. He threw her under the bus.
Was she directly responsible?
@Don
No, the Secret Service was responsible. She's taking the fall. That's why I'm pissed off about it.
