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 laira 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 As 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 towns Black Wall Street, home of the 1921 race riots that took a thriving black middle class and reduced it to homelessness and misery.

Hideous, just hideous! Check out #7.
First time I've ever seen a combination of mosquito netting canopy and straight-jacket sewn together into one monstrosity garmet.

She looks like a mummy that just went through some “hope and change”.
Do they have mirrors in the White House? Just gawd awful!

I guess we should be grateful it wasn’t MO wearing the dress(?).
Is this a standard dress for voodoo people?

If I know the way it is supposed to work, against the backdrop of an ethical system which is morally bankrupt at it's core, and the only sole driving principle of the Obama Administration and staffers is the seizure, accumulation and protection of PERSONAL POWER AND PRIVILEGE,
you can be sure it will not be too long--if this is D.C.--that they get the *goods", some "dirt" on one or several Homeland Security issue-related Congressmen on The Hill digging into this scandal, a scandal which is international in dimension and that could easily lead right to Barack and Michelle Obama themselves, if not their senior aides. The Obama's have oversight of both the FBI and the IRS now. They can make life painful for anybody suggesting transparency and accountability through Congressional hearings on this Gate Crash/BRAVO-TV fiasco. That is why I appended on another thread the "Clear and President Danger" audio clip link to show how this works. In this case, three U.S. Secret Service agents are without jobs. That might mean in some homes were kids who don't get Christmas presents this year and Daddy or Mommy will have a helluva time getting another job with that on their record--while the BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE go scott free.I have seen it time and again, up close, and it turns my stomach!
A national news media which has an ounce of independence and a sense for justice would be all over this. This is, however, the SILENCE OF THE GUILTY.

LOL! It could be a *garmet* because it’s so ugly.
You left out a letter but whoever created that *dress* left out a whole bunch of stuff...including style.

...How else despite the color of her skin and political cronyism did this idiot get to run anything but garbage detail in the WH....
Desiree learned everything she needed to know about Chicago-Style Politics in Chicago.
Chicago-Style Politics...its better than Voodoo.

It is amazing how people complain and criticize the Obamas and yet George Bush stood for nothing and our economy has suffered greatly. Who cares about Desiree's ancestry. If we start checking into people's ancestry; we will find out why people are so critical of the Obamas. Trash recognizes trash.

Why did the WH prohibit “The Voodoo Queen Descendant” Desiree from testifying about the break in security?

Bienvenidos a “ZOT” and what does Bush have to do with anything? BO has filled the White House and the executive office buildings with the third-rate, with trash, vulgarians, poseurs and marxist ideologues. Exhibit A is that pro-child molestation perv who is in charge of “safe” schools. Defend that. Better yet, go back to DU.

I was thinking she looks like a male homosexual in drag, esp. in that shot of her above in the black outfit.
