Is the real reason White House social secretary Desiree Rogers was stripped of her power and "pushed" to resign that she was stealing the thunder of first lady Michelle Obama and first friend Valerie Jarrett?
You bet.
White House social secretary Desiree Rogers says she will step down next month, after presiding over 330 events in the White House in 14 months. Rogers, a friend of President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, is part of a high-profile group of Chicagoans in the Obama White House.
• It was Desiree who publicly corrected Michelle Obama in front of White House visitors when the first lady incorrectly identified the presidential era of a piece of White House china.
• It was Desiree who insisted on calling her bosses "Barack" and "Michelle."
• It was Desiree who was accepting hip invites, luncheons with the swells and dining and being drooled over by New York media mavens such as Barbara Walters.
• It was Desiree who saw nothing wrong in admitting to wearing Japanese couture Comme des Garcons gowns -- when the first lady was stuck publicly wearing American frocks. (Privately, the Michelle closet and jewelry box are filled with tres expensive stuff -- and not all made in the USA.)
• It was Desiree who was garnering as much publicity as her boss -- and loving every bit of it. (Remember, Desiree is the ego meter who placed herself in all the TV ads for Peoples Gas when she was the company's president.)
• It was Desiree who was not invited to Michelle Obama's recent birthday party. (Sneedscoop)

....And another goes under the bus.
Ah yes, but how does she look in a boob belt?
Desiree, it's not acceptable to upstage the Queen!
The White House eventually clamped down on her public profile. She was ordered to stop attending splashy events and showing up in fancy clothes on magazine covers. When Michelle Obama learned one day that Ms. Rogers was on a train heading to New York to attend an MTV dinner, the first lady told her longtime friend to cancel, associates said.
Unlike with the Clintons, there will be a LOT of books written by former Obama administration members, especially when Rahm leaves.
No, she wasn’t thrown under the bus. That expression implies someone who is innocent and is sacrificed for the Obamas’ careers. Desiree Rogers is a self-aggrandizing, ambitious woman of staggering vulgarity and presumption who got dazzled by the big-city lights. She thought she was far more sophisticated than she is.
In the age of youtube and the internet - you wonder who might get pissed enough to post something after being thrown under the bus...
That dress looks like a bedazzled incontinence mattress pad.
I think that’s where Michelle got the idea to wear everything belted. Desiree often stylishly pairs wide belts with her outfits, but Desiree is probably 100 lbs. lighter and 10 sizes smaller than Manchelle.
That outfit looks like she sewed together a bunch of dishrags. Dirty dishrags.
I find this hard to believe. Whatever you think of Obama, and I don't think much, you don't call the President of the United States by his first name especially if you work for him. In public or in private, it's always Mr. President.
I also don't like it when reporters feel they have some right to call the President Mr. "Last Name". It irritates me.
Might I say that white trash comes in all colors?
I would say Desiree is stealing Amazon woman thunder..She looks beautiful and Michelle still looks like a horse no matter what she wears..
horse face!
You got that right—that has to be one of the ugliest concoctions I have ever seen.
Was it also this gal who had uninvited guests show up at a couple of dinners and get seated?
That has to be the ugliest dress ever.
Some people refer to the President as Mr. Obama as a subtle way to infer he is ineligible and is usurping the position. I refer to him as Obummer.
