Vice presidents throughout U.S. history have famously chafed at their position, John Adams himself calling it the “most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”
And it appears that Adams’ restlessness has carried over to Vice President Joe Biden, who referred to his station at an even Thursday evening in somewhat less eloquent terms.
A student at an event hosted Thursday evening by the Institute of Politics at Harvard University said: “I’m a senior at the college. I’m the vice president of the student body here.”
“Isn’t it a bitch?” Biden shot back, much the crowd’s amusement.
Biden later clarified that he actually enjoys being vice president and that he enjoys working for President Obama.
