President - Vice Presidents that didnt like each other?

[maveric]

I've read the JFK and LBJ werent the best of friends. Kennedy picked Lyndon as VP to secure the southern vote. They were often "not on the same page".
I get the impression that Reagn and poppy were not all palsy-walsy either.

What other prez-vp's didnt care that much for one another?

1. When asked at a news conference what Nixon contributed, Ike said:

"If you give me a week, I might come up with something." Just as Nixon was preparing his 1960 campaign.

2. Adams and Jefferson

3. I get the feeling that bu$h adores Cheney...

But the Dickster has very little respect for the chimp.

4. I don't think Reagan had much respect

for Bush.

I don't think LBJ had much love for Humphrey. One quote I read long ago was "I got Hubert's pecker in my pocket," whatever that means. LBJ seemed to like "pecker humor" once exposing himself to Japanese reporters in a bathroom and opining that they probably didn't see them that size back in Japan.

McKinley didn't want anything to do with Teddy Roosevelt and then went and up and died so TR became president.

Ike-Nixon is a famous case.

5. FDR and Truman

it was just a chance that FDR died in office and we got Truman

7. Why did FDR pick Truman?

I found this.

So FDR picks Harry for Vice-President and then he has nothing to do with him. Franklin only spoke with Harry twice during their service in the White House together, and both of these were photo sessions for the public. When Franklin passed away at a health spa during the latter days of World War II, Harry had no idea about anything that Franklin was working on. He did not even know the Manhatten project existed. He was thrust right into the middle of the war and only a few weeks later he was sitting in Potsdam having a conference with Stalin and Churchill negotiating the end of the war in Europe. He held his own there as well and served as the chairperson of these meetings.

6. Jackson and Calhoun

"...Jackson and Calhoun were sharply at odds. The president had now learned that Calhoun, when secretary of war, had opposed Jackson's pursuit of marauding Seminoles into Spanish Florida. After the nullification episode the gulf became unbridgeable, as Jackson fervently opposed that doctrine. When Jackson removed the government deposits from the Bank of the United States in 1833, Calhoun, though not a strong Bank supporter, joined the Whig opposition in censure of the president. He did not return to the Democratic party until the late 1830s."

8. Did Clinton and Al Gore get along? It appears that they did to me.

Was their a rift there?

9. Gore and Clinton

Pre-Monica ----- Great relationship
Post-Monica ---- Gore couldn't stomach Clinton

10. Reagan-Bush

I read in a book not long ago that Reagan didn't like Bush at all. After Bush joined with the renegade "neocons" in the basement to try to run a parallel foreign policy, Reagan rarely spoke to the man. That bunch in the basement was the birthing of our current incompetent administration.
