NOW he’s gonna start solving problems!
(Image showing how long Biden was a senator and Vice President)
Well, first of all, while senators have a certain amount of power, an individual senator does not have enough authority to 'fix' anything on his own. (Especially since the Republicans held a majority for at least some of the time he was a Senator.)
Of course, as senator, he: pushed for background checks on firearm purchases, helped set up a domestic violence help line, brought in legislation to improve education especially for low income students, had a role in NATO enlargement, etc. Sounds to me like he's done at least some good. (Compared to Stubby McBonespurs, who's history of public service involves a charitable foundation that he had to shut down because of fraud, a university that had to be shut down because of fraud, and a series of business practices and bankruptcies that have ended up harming hundreds of other people.)
As for his time as VP.... again, he didn't exactly have the same authority as Obama, but if you want to look at the record of the administration, they managed to guide the nation through a recession that started before they came to power (i.e. wasn't their fault) and provided health care to millions of Americans.
Sounds to me like that's a pretty good record for a political candidate.
