**Video: Our Friend Barack in Charlotte NC!!**

[Clio the Leo]

I cannot put into words how moving the following was to me. Barack shared with us no doubt such a difficult moment in his life and in so doing, made us all feel better for it. He spoke of his late grandmother in a way that did not pimp out her memory for the purpose of a campaign, but instead reminded us all how each moment we live must be lived to the fullest and how, as long as we work together, there is nothing we cannot do.

He did NOT have to say the things he said. He could have simply said, "thank you for your support" and gone on with this speech that he has surely memorized. But every word dripped with more sincerity than I have ever heard him utter. His plea to help him make this word a better place came from deep inside of him. Without any doubt in my mind I can say that I have NO question that this man is not only the most capable person to help lead the world right now, but was truly a gift sent from God. His fortitude in times of crisis continues to prove itself. Biden is telling the honest truth when he says that Barack's spine is made of steel.

So here is his second to last rally speech of the 2008 campaign from Charlotte, NC.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!

And in keeping with tradition, here is your pie....

Hula Pie

1 box Oreo cookies
3 ounces melted butter
1/2 gallon macadamia nut ice cream
Heavy, dark chocolate fudge topping
Diced macadamia nuts
Whipped cream

Grind cookies to the consistency of ground coffee. Blend in butter. Press firmly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan. Freeze until hard.

Soften ice cream until you can mold it with a spatula or large "putty knife." Fill cake pan evenly, molding an even dome of ice cream. Freeze 4 hours or until very hard. Spread with dark fudge topping (use hot water to smooth it) as thick as you like. Freeze for 1 hour, unmold, cut with hot, wet knife and garnish with nuts and whipped cream.

Serves 8-12.
