Drilling ban costing jobs

The Obama administration is not backing down when it comes to a temporary ban on deep-water drilling in the gulf. Earlier this week, interior secretary Ken Salazar ordered a new ban to replace earlier ones that were struck down in court. But even the president's own oil spill panel is expressing doubts about the need to suspend drilling after hearing days of testimony from people who are suffering because of it. Cherri Foytlin is one of those who testified. She spoke with CNN's Kiran Chetry Thursday, along with her husband, Forest Foytin. He's an offshore field technician who fears his job is in jeopardy. Tommy Webb, a furloughed oil rig worker also weighed in.
