Obama’s Chicago crony Desiree Rogers to Blame for White House Crashergate?

obama_smoke.jpgNBC in Chicago is now mentiong that fingers are starting to point to Obama Chicagoa crony Desiree Rogers, who is Obama’s social secretary, for letting Michele and Tareq Salahi slip by security at the front gate of the White House last week, you know, the ones opposed posted for 5 years ago, and the member of anti-Israel ATFP with ties to Rashid Khadlidi? The couple, who were seen mugging with Vice President Joe Biden and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel – not to mention shaking the President’s hand – might never have gotten into the party if Rogers hadn’t stripped the woman whose job it was to vet such people of her power.

Cathy Hargraves, who resigned last June, was personally responsible for overseeing the invitations of state dinner guests and keeping track of their RSVPs. She also physically stood at the gate during functions and cross-checked names against a master list.
The Salahis gained entry to the White House despite not being on such a list.

When Rogers came to the White House last, she stripped Hargraves, a Bush-era holdover, of those responsibilities. “In these economic times,” Hargraves told Newsweek, I don’t think we’re going to have very many lavish expensive dinners. It wouldn’t look very good.”

The Secret Service has since apologized for the security lapse, possibly removing some of the burden from Rogers’ shoulders. But at least one Republican lawmaker wants the social office to endure its share of scrutiny.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the ranking member on the House Homeland Security Committee has called for a congressional investigation into what happened — and he wants the social office, and, by association Rogers, included.

    FIRE DESIREE ROGERS!
    There is simply no excuse for this failure. She should have the decency to resign. Shame on her!

    I wonder if the Secret Service got the license plates on that bus that ran them over with an Obama bumper sticker on it. Obama would rather throw his Secret Service under the bus then hold one of his Chicago Cronies responsible.
