White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers Quits Amid Controversy

Sunday, February 28th, 2010


White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers quits amid controversy drawing criticism for a major security breach at a State Dinner in November.

Criticized for failing to post someone from the Social Secretary office at a  security check point,  verifying names last November two trespassers were permitted entry into the White House and attended an Indian State Dinner. The Obama Administration put the blame on the U.S. Secret Service.

A subsequent investigation revealed that a 3rd White House Gate Crasher also entered the State Dinner.

Rogers overwhelmed in her position loved the limelight and instead of doing her job she wore a designer dress and seated as if she was an honored guest at the Indian State Dinner. Last year Rogers posed for Vogue Magazine and traveled to Manhattan to attend New York Fashion Week, where she was able to use her position to snag front row seats for top shows.

Democratic Fund Raiser Julianna Smoot, has been tagged by the White Hose to replace Rogers. Smoot was finance director for Obama’s 2008 Presidential Campaign, most recently serving as Chief of Staff to U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk.

RINO John McCain: We Need More Not Less Government Regulation

Thursday, February 25th, 2010


Republican In Name Only (RINO) Arizona Sen. John McCain, wants the FDA with its dismal safety record to now regulate dietary supplements.

John McCain has introduced with one co-sponsor Byorn Dorgan, D-ND The Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 that would repeal key provisions of the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act to “more effectively dietary supplements that may pose safety risks unknown to consumers.”

McCain sounds like Democrat-Socialists Barack Obama who wants Americans to see themselves as victims for government to seize control of every aspect of ones life because we are just nothing more than simple minded, helpless wimps and don’t have enough common sense to think for ourselves.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has had to retract its claims that up to 40% of the amazonian rain forests were at risk from global warming and would likely be replaced by “tropical savannas” if temperatures continued to rise.
