Chinese Drywall: Hey Obama, finish your beer & call me

August 7th, 2009. By AbiK

If you’ve ever wondered why we live in a so-called litigious society, here’s why: Chinese Drywall. Unfortunately, it’s usually the more outlandish personal injury claims that get the attention of the press—things like that case years ago when someone with hot coffee from McDonald’s sued (uh, wasn’t coffee supposed to be hot? never mind…) But in the case of Chinese Drywall, it’s apparent inaction. So here’s Larry Kosakowski. And he’s ticked off. About Chinese drywall.

Seems according to wpbf.com, Larry’s already been to local and state lawmakers down in his home state of FL. But, he’s not seeing any action. So hey, Larry’s got some you-know-what’s, so he doesn’t mess around—he goes straight to the top. He calls the President. Of the US.

Now, on the day Kosakowski phoned the president, the president was meeting—uh, chugging back a beer—at his “Beer Summit”.So as reported at wpbf.com, Kosakowski left a message with a volunteer: “I asked that she let the president know that I call,” said Kosakowski. “And when he gets done with his beers, give me call and I’d be willing to discuss our heinous problem that we’re dealing with.”

Now when you first hear of this, your first reaction may be to laugh—it is on some level comical. But in Larry Kosakowski’s reality, this is no laughing matter. He’s going to have to leave his home soon while the drywall is remediated. Like most homeowners in his situation, he can’t afford to cover both a mortgage and rent somewhere else. What’s Kosakowski really want? For the federal government to step in and convince lenders to abate mortgages until the remediation process is done.

My advice to Larry: call a Chinese drywall lawyer—you’re dime will go further and you’ll get some action.
