Amid all the hate mail I received in my inbox yesterday, one loyal reader, Millie Smith, emailed to inform me that the young lady whispering into Barack Obama’s ear in my earlier post on presidential jump-offs, is apparently an Obama employee and close friend.

Her name is Desiree Rogers and she was appointed the position of party planner for the Obama administration. Her exact job title is: White House Social Secretary/ Special Assistant to the President.

I hollered when I read the last sentence in Millie’s email. She wrote: “Sorry she’s not the President’s jump off….”

And just how would Millie know that?

I’m sure one of Clinton’s friends said the same thing about Monica Lewinsky after the whispers started — and we know how that story ended.

I mean, let’s get real here:


Look at Desiree…


Now look at Michelle Obama…


Now look at Desiree again…

I mean, it’s a no-brainer. Well, maybe “brainer” wasn’t the proper choice of wording….

As I’ve said many times in the past, as long as a man is living and breathing — and I might add, able to stand upright — he’s fair game for a shrewd, social climbing jump-off.

The race is on to see who will capture the title of “First Jump-off.” My money is on Desiree since she’s already got the inside track.

Even blogger Sister Toldja agrees with me, and she and I rarely see eye to eye on anything concerning men.

This is going to be a fun 4 years!
