Desiree Rogers Leaves for the Corporate World

The White House Social Secretary is leaving her job. Desiree Rogers has presided over several hundred White House social events, and not without controversy. She tells the Chicago Sun-Times's Lynn Sweet that "now's a good time to explore opportunities in the corporate world."  Kind of off-message... Rogers, recruited by Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, will return to Chicago. And the political world will be left to guess whether Rogers was pushed out, or whether her resignation is voluntary. My guess: admixture of the two.
