"When we made the transition to Bob, it was always 'Bob Iger or who?' There was nobody even close."
Are you delusional? Are you trying to rewrite history? It was always "Bob Iger or YOU!" and you got voted out of the company. You didn't even resign to "spend more time with your family" like every exec does today, you waited until the voted were cast, which I commend you for. Please don't try to spin the truth.
Whoever they make CEO, I hope its someone who understands and has respect for all areas of the business.
