GREENWICH VILLAGE — Nuclear missiles aren't the only thing in his arsenal.

Gaffe-prone vice president Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth once again Thursday — telling a room packed with students at NYU that President Barack Obama "has a big stick."

The belly laugh-inducing blunder came when Biden was speaking about the need to maintain international pressure on Iran during a 45-minute address at the law school's Vanderbilt Hall.

"Now is the time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick,' end of quote," Biden said.

"I promise you, the president has that big stick," he continued, sparking snickering and applause.
