Price of offshore drilling worth it to save lives

I know we are all into this speaking the truth thing since it is Presidential election season again.

Let's weigh the cost of pretty beaches: Trillions of dollars and thousands of young people's lives so we make sure oil producing countries will keep their overpriced oil spigot open.

Compare that cost with the energy independence that President Obama, with the help of Republicans and Democrats, blessed us all with along with the chance of an oil spill.

I will bring my bottle of Joy to help wash oil off the poor little birds if we have to.
