Obama Post

From POLITICO.com:

Former White House social secretary Desiree Rogers took plenty of blame for the gate crashers at President Barack Obama’s first state dinner and for posing for fashion shoots in glossy magazines.

But a previously undisclosed gripe about her provides another explanation for her abrupt departure last month: Some of Obama’s biggest fundraisers, already chafing at not getting enough love from the administration, didn’t even get Christmas cards last year.

Text continues after gallery…

“The donors rose up, and that was another reason Desiree got pushed out,” said a source close to the White House.

    The article says the donors rose up but then reports the opposite.
    Those interviewed were into bigger issues and in it for the long haul. They support the man…Obama. Donors want the Dems to keep their word. Reading btwn the lines, the Democrats are unhappy that donors aren’t contributing more. Desiree wasn’t keeping them happy.

    Placing the blame on Rogers, is their form of dis-associative denial. Contributions are down b/c people are unhappy with lawmakers. Perhaps they should consider Pelosi’s progrssive radio soundbyte,played ovr&ovr. “There’s not enough votes for the public option”. This makes Pelosi look like the corrupt corp. jester. Admist all the healthcare banter, the new strategy is a perky blonde, who will solict more money for the national party…and more ethics hearings.

    The Democratic Presidential campaign leadership consisted of sharks and snipers. That disrespect (esp. against blacks) is further evident in Roger’s situation… and the new hire. Rogers made the right choice.
    A good run is better than a bad stand. Thank you, Cynthia McKinney.

    Oh puh-leez! Her as.s didn’t do her job and she got canned! Simple as that! Why is it whenever someone black gets hot seated (for a piss poor job performance)and terminated (even if she were in a black employment situation) the FIRST thing other black folks want to do is cry FOUL and start marching, ranting and raving about doing the black man (or woman in this case), wrong?

    Get over it. The Obama’s have plenty of blacks on the payroll who ARE doing their job and not being that ‘a typical’ Cinderella NEGRO who wants to SHINE, instead of staying in their place and doing a thorough da.mned job?!? Always want to act like it’s THEIR party or an INVITE instead of looking like they’re really the ‘help!’ Ugh!!

    @BlackMiss62…I kind of like your remark…
    Lets face it, we all know the White House holds more secrets than Vicky can make panties for. I would be surprised if someone gently pulled her to the side on the previous events before this incident and told her to chill out a bit and watch yourself. This isnt just about job performance… Anytime you have something to do with security you HAVE to know your layout of interests anywhere. If you dont wash your own butt (this means double checking your own security staff) you cant talk about how someone else didnt comb their hair. Its obvious the other staff made a ‘did i bring deodorant?’ check. and made sure to stay down wind from Ms Rogers’ point of position. They knew with risks like that it was only a matter of time before this would happen.

    It look to me that Desiree Rogers does not know what using one initiative mean. If she have double check things up thinking outside of the box of what can go wrong or so then she would still be in that job. Going to colleges sure doesn’t qualify anyone to a top job if they can’t follow their job descriptions and use their initiatives to make things safer, better or reasonable.

    Christmas cards…They are insulting my intellegince.I think somebody is out to get her.And I belive it’s the people who was working under her.Thats why she left.I hope Pres.Obama is watching the people,who is around him.

    Obama is a puppet. That unhealthy care bill is going to fail. Bush was a puppet too. Now we put a so called black man in office and now everyone is ok. You jobless aaassssholes think he’s going to help us. The troops are fighting more wars carried out by that house nnnniggggaaa. In my eyes we don’t have a black president in office. Whites will never let go of the white house for a nyiagga. Unemployment continues to rise. Yes he has power to change some things. If you disagree with me like that mason nnnyigaa then phyuck you tooo.
