Desirée Glapion Rogers is the descendant of a Creole voodoo priestess named Marie Laveau Glapion. The first time I meet her, she welcomes me into her East Wing lair—a rhythm and blues tune plays on a white iPod, a potted white orchid perches between two windows, fresh flowers sit on a heavy wooden desk. This is a woman who never sees a wilted bloom. The 49-year-old turns on just enough Southern charm to camouflage an aura of self-assuredness typically reserved for runway models or first ladies. Wearing a crisp white shirt, black patent flats and high-waisted navy slacks that would look terrible on almost anyone else, Rogers talks about her job as White House social secretary.

Determined to move to a place where it snows, says her brother, Rogers stayed up late at night studying, made straight A’s and ignored the bullies who teased her for being best friends with a little white girl. She moved to Chicago and married John Rogers, a well-connected son of a lawyer and civil rights activist and the great-grandson of a Tulsa, Okla., entrepreneur in the town’s “Black Wall Street,” home of the 1921 race riots that took a thriving black middle class and reduced it to homelessness and misery.

“Is she the one who snuck the Salahis into the State Dinner?”
She didn’t sneak her in. Desiree was partying too! It was Desiree’s JOB to make sure there were no party crashers! Instead the Obama thug gang blamed the Secret Service and refuses to have ole Desiree be part of the investigation.

3 Secret Service Agents Put on Leave After Party Crashing Incident
AP
Three Secret Service officers were put on administrative leave after the security breach at last week’s White House dinner.
...
The couple — Tareq and Michaele Salahi — and White House social secretary Desiree Rogers were also invited to testify Thursday, but all three declined.
...
The committee’s top Republican, New York’s Peter King, said it’s critical that the White House allow Rogers to testify as well. Sullivan told the lawmakers that the Secret Service and the White House social office together developed the security plan for the Nov. 24 dinner. Thompson is reluctant to subpoena Rogers — an Obama political appointee — because he maintains the Secret Service is responsible for security. King said he will ask Thompson to amend the Salahi subpoena to include Rogers.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs cited the separation of powers and a history of White House staff not testifying before Congress in explaining why Rogers, herself a guest at the dinner, wouldn’t testify.
As a candidate, Obama supported Congress’ right to subpoena White House employees in cases of wrongdoing, even if it meant as president he might be weaker for it. So far, questions have been raised about Rogers’ judgment, but no one has suggested she broke any law.
“This blanket notion that you can’t subpoena White House aides where there’s evidence of genuine wrongdoing I think is completely misguided,” Obama said last year. “We’re a nation of laws and not men and women so, you know, and that’s a precedent I don’t mind living with as president of the United States.”
LOL!!!!

Thanks for the ping!

The Mummy? Who ever told her it was stylin was
blowing smoke up her ass.
That’s alot of smoke.
Yeah, amazing isn’t it?
She’s ugly as hell.
OMG! She resembles the people on my Mom’s side. They are also from Louisiana. Hope we are not related.
I’ve seen ugly people. She may not be the prettiest, but she is far from ugly.
Surely you are joking. That is one ugly as& woman.
Next, Zer0 will have the White House painted bright blue w/ white trim around the windows and doors.
She’s ugly in my book. He nose is big, she’s odd looking.
If you look around, there is a photo of this Desiree in an outfit with a dang cinched tight belt over a jacket that looks ridiculous. So I think the answer is, yes.
