The word around Washington DC is that Barack and Michelle Obama’s friend, Desiree Rogers, has been fired as a result of that embarrassing scandal involving the reality TV couple who crashed the White House state dinner last month.

There is no confirmation of this, but tongues are wagging that, at the very least, Desiree has been demoted to the equivalent of a White House desk job since dropping the ball by not posting a staff member at the WH gate to receive visitors.

I told you Desiree was going to be trouble from the moment we first laid eyes on her whispering in Barack’s ear, didn’t I?

I LOVE Sandra McElwaine’s write up on Desiree for The Daily Beast blog. LMAO @ Desiree “swanning about at White House parties.”

Desiree Rogers will no longer be swanning about at White House parties. Au contraire. Ever since the glamorous social secretary was hobnobbing with celebrities, oblivious to two reality TV wannabes who were crashing the Obamas’ first state dinner in November she has been given a timeout.

Even though her Louboutin stilettos still click down the historic hallways of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, there have been no more appearances in designer gowns or pronouncements about pushing the unique Obama brand. Instead the sophisticated Harvard MBA seems to be adapting to more formal protocol and attempting to play a more traditional behind-the-scenes role as she oversees the care and feeding of more than 50,000 guests at 28 different holiday receptions.

There are others who say the black chick got put back in her place. But I disagree. I told you she was trouble from day one because her snobbish attitude and her attention seeking desire to be in the limelight overshadowed her achievements.

Plain and simply, she was the wrong woman for the job. Desiree should be working for a marketing, PR firm or an entertainment network where her attention seeking tendencies are better suited.
