Who is she? A super model? Nah. She's Desiree Rogers President Obama's Social Secretary. You know the one RESPONSIBLE for the guest list at things like oh State Dinners at the White House. Of course she is in this position because? Well, she was a financial bundler for the Obama campaign and is a gal pal of Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett:
On the other hand I guess you could say the Obama Administration has bought change to the Washington. Especially at events like State Dinners at the White House Here is Exhibit A:
"During President George W. Bush’s administration, it was standard procedure to have someone from the White House social office at the gate for state dinners and other events with large groups of visitors, according to a former senior Bush aide who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to be seen as criticizing the Obama White House.
The social office is most knowledgeable about the guest list and could have been called in case of any uncertainty, this official said…White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, asked by The Associated Press on Thursday whether personnel from her office were at the checkpoint said, “We were not.”"
So what is her philosophy about her job at the White House?
"“My belief is that we don’t always get everything accomplished over a meeting table,”” Rogers says. “Many times it’s over cocktails, it’s over dinner and so the other piece to our work will be what kind of events can we create?”
TRANSLATION: I'm here to party!
Hmmmm You would think Congress investigating the security lapse at last weeks State Dinner might want to question Ms. Rodgers. But, that ain't goin' to happen in the no blame Obama administration. Exhibit C:
"The White House on Wednesday invoked the separation of powers to keep Desiree Rogers, President Obama’s social secretary, from testifying on Capitol Hill about how a couple of aspiring reality television show celebrities crashed a state dinner for the prime minister of India last week."

More Security Guards then people on the Plaza. The above photo was taken a few minutes past 11 AM as Sotomayor was being sworn in by Justice Roberts. No La Raza, No Puerto Rican Defense Fund groups, no pro illegal immigrant groups and illegal immigrant amnesty supporters. Here another shot of the crowd gathered out side the building:
Which appeared to be mostly made up of gringo tourists from Ohio and other states visiting D.C. No placards of support for Sotomayor no posters in Spanish (Thankfully). Just a few tourists wandering around and of course:
The "media"! I kind of felt sorry for them as there was not much a story here for them to cover . No crying Latinos praising Sotomayor for having achieved ascendancy to the Supreme Court of the United States. No illegals saying what an inspiration she was to them. So much for "historic" occasions in the history of Latinos in America. But, one politician did show up and make some comments to the media:
Congresswoman Nadia Velaquez of New York. Who was actually sworn in by Sonia Sotomayor when she first became a Congresswoman.
I listened in as a reporter interviewed her. She said that the Sonia Sotomayor's rise to the Supreme Court should be a lesson for all the young Latinos out there that if you work hard and study even though you live in the projects with all the bad things and violence around you can still get ahead in America. I'd say that it's not just a lesson for "young Latinos" but, any young person in this country.
