Why would it be a problem to have the president and his vice president political enemies?

The President and the Vice-President are members of the same Administration - they are expected to co-operate in getting the President's agenda through Congress. If the Vice-President is critical or unsupportive of the President's agenda, it makes it much more difficult for the Administration to achieve its goals. Also - if the President is ever sick or incapacitated for some reason, the Vice-President would be Acting President. To have a person take over who disagreed with the President's decisions would cause confusion and difficulty.
