U.S. President Joe Biden describes life at the White House: ‘A gilded cage’

Four weeks into his presidency, Joe Biden says he’s still getting used to the trappings of the office. Mr. Biden offered a frank description of what it’s like to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. during his CNN town hall on Feb. 16 night, referencing past Presidents who have spoken of the building as “a little like a gilded cage.” “I get up in the morning and look at Jill and say, ‘Where the hell are we?’” Mr. Biden joked, adding that he wasn’t used to household staff waiting on him.
