The POTUS is a very exclusive club and it's tradition for a new president to call on his predecessors for experience and advice - regardless of party. LBJ called on Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter only had Nixon and Ford - and Ford stepped up the plate to help him deal with Congress since he had experience and President Carter had been governor. And they had been opponents! Yet they became lifelong friends. And we know that Clinton has been friendly with both Bushes - and even Michelle Obama is buddies with W! And we know how close Obama and Biden were. The former guy is the rare exception.
