- FDR was told by a top naval officer before WWII the military did not have faith in his leadership.
- Churchill's military continually questioned his judgment, with good cause according to most historians.
- Joe Califano resisted Carter's efforts to remove education from his HEW to establish a separate Education Department. Carter ended up firing 3 cabinet officers and almost had his VP resign.
- Much of Lincoln's military, particularly in the early years and especially Gen. McClellan, openly dissed the president.
- Andrew Jackson ended up firing his cabinet to resolve dissension.
- Ronald Reagan--well, I won't start on him.
So our current president's troubles are not entirely unprecedented.
