Wounded Vet Was Getting Bullied By The VA, So He Talked To Trump- 2 Weeks Later, He Was Stunned…
"Donald Trump made a commitment..."

Donald Trump made a promise and he delivered.

In October, the Republican presidential candidate made a commitment to U.S. Army First Sgt. Todd Landen (Ret.) very, very personal. In front of a large crowd at a Sioux City, Iowa, event, he promised the wounded veteran and his family that he would get action to end the runaround Landen was getting from the Veterans Administration.

“I am going to put pressure on the VA like you won’t believe,” Trump said then. “As president, I can guarantee it. As Trump I can say, ‘I’ll probably be able to pull it off anyway.'” Trump told Landen and his wife and family. “Because they know it won’t stop. It will be easier to take Todd and just say ‘Look, we’re gonna work with you.”

Within a day, Trump’s staff were communicating with the family and the VA. Now, back pay and medical records issues that were making life difficult for Landen and his family have now been resolved, senior Trump adviser Daniel Scavino, Jr. announced via YouTube and Twitter on Thursday night.

...........................................................

The YouTube video shows an image of a letter on U.S. Senate letterhead with all personal information removed saying Landen’s “retroactive compensation payment” was processed on November 9, barely two weeks after his meeting with Trump.

“Donald Trump made a commitment to help out a Veteran,” Scavino posted on YouTube. “The results are coming in – and the Trump campaign will continue to work with this Veteran, and be there for him. Imagine what President Donald Trump will do for the entire VA? He gets things done.”

Landen, 46, a member of the 101st Airborne, was injured in an IED explosion in Iraq in 2006. He has since undergone 21 operations.

President Obama tries to get one guy a job, and fails
John Hayward | Monday Apr 9, 2012 9:17 AM

No sooner had the absolutely horrifying unemployment report for March been released than we received an update on the status of engineer Darin Wedel, who became one of America’s most famous job seekers two months ago.

At that time, Wedel’s wife Jennifer found herself in one of President Obama’s gimmicky “online chat” events, and asked the President why the government is passing out so many visas for foreign workers when large numbers of Americans with excellent job skills are unemployed. Darin Wedel was a semiconductor engineer at Texas Instruments, but lost his job three years ago.

The President expressed surprise that such a fine resume couldn’t bring offers of employment in the high-tech wonderland of Obamanomics, where “industry leaders” just can’t find enough people to grab all the lucrative jobs tumbling from their overflowing cornucopias. The exchange, as recounted by the Nashua Telegraph, went like this:

Obama said industry leaders have told him that the U.S. doesn’t have enough of certain kinds of high-tech engineers to meet its needs. Wedel interrupted him to say that his answer didn’t match what her husband is seeing in the real world.

“If you send me your husband’s resume, I’d be interested in finding out exactly what’s happening right there,” Obama told her. “The word we’re getting is somebody in that high-tech field, that kind of engineer, should be able to find something right away. And the H-1B should be reserved only for those companies who say they cannot find somebody in that particular field.”

“If you send me your husband’s resume, I’d be interested in finding out exactly what’s happening right there,” Obama told her. “The word we’re getting is somebody in that high-tech field, that kind of engineer, should be able to find something right away. And the H-1B should be reserved only for those companies who say they cannot find somebody in that particular field.”

The President reminded Mrs. Wedel to send that resume along to the White House at the end of the video chat, so the perplexing mystery of how this one poor fellow can’t find a job – after Barack Obama declared “job creation” to be his “top priority” at least 17 times over the past three years! – might be solved.

She did indeed send the resume along, and the phones began ringing off the hook. The White House stepped forward to take credit for this latest example of “recovery” magic:

as for Darin Wedel, well, he still doesn’t have a job. The brief flurry of interest artificially created when the White House stepped in and decreed that job offers should rain down upon one house in Texas has subsided, as reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

In all fairness here's an update on Darin: Months after the WH lost interest and stopped communicating with him. Darin had to switch fields., found a temp job that became permanent.

The following article contains some interesting information detailing the WH's 'help'.
