The Resignation of White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers
In the aftermath of the controversial party crashing of the White House State dinner by Tareq and Michaele Salahi (now of “The Real Housewives of Washington DC” fame), Social Secretary Desiree Rogers was under immense pressure to resolve why there had been a security breach under her leadership. Many accused Rogers of being more concerned with being part of the party and being in the spotlight rather than remaining behind the scenes and in full control. Although her friends Barack and Michelle Obama refused to blame her, the controversy made it difficult for Rogers to continue in her position. Months after the party crashing incident, Rogers resigned in March and is now CEO of Johnson Publishing Company.
