Talk:Iran-Contra affair (view source)
Revision as of 23:38, October 20, 2016
, 23:38, October 20, 2016→Don Regan
My suggestion is to either downplay Regan in the Intro, or add further explanation. Regan is not even a minor player in a cast if thousands, and his name only adds confusion.[[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''#NeverHillary'']]</sup> 19:15, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

IOW, what makes this unusual, in most administrations if a president wants to change chief of staff, the president would have to do it personally and directly, being there is supposedly no one in between the president and his right hand man, the chief of staff. VP Bush's efforts to fire him took three days, demanding, "The president wants your resignation." Regan argued Reagan would have to ask for it himself, but Reagan couldn't bring himself to hurt and betray a personal friend face to face. As recently cited in Nancy Reagan's obits, it was she who had to call Regan up after VP Bush told Regan several times, and tell Regan to get the hell out-he was tge designated fall guy for the activities if Reagan/Bush/Casey that Regan knew nothing about.
