GWB hired him - Obama kept him on by rejecting his resignation in 2009 and 2013. Trump accepted his resignation (He turned 65 in October FWIW).
So no one fired him, GWB hired him and O chose to not accept his resignation in 2009 and 2013.
Quite easy to understand but that way it doesn't make the front page of the newspaper.
Thanks for the correction. I’ll blame my error on old age. That excuse does come in handy from time to time.
Ah, OK. Good info.
