White House Social Secretary and close friend of the Obama family, Desiree Rogers, has resigned after overseeing 330 events in 14 months.
The resignation comes just months after the whole Salahi incident in which the infamous couple crashed the State Dinner. Desiree was highly criticized for her role in the major breach of security.
However, there was no mention of the Salahi’s when she spoke with Lynn Sweet, “This is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world.” When I took on this assignment, we talked about the importance of creating the people’s house. My work has really to create this framework. I think I complete that work. Our office has been able to lay the foundation for what will be known as the ‘people’s house’ and it has already taken shape.”
Her replacement is Julianna Smoot who was behind the President’s fundraising operation.
