Candidate Obama promised to fundamentally transform America and that's one promise he has kept. Turning a shining city on a hill into a sinking ship.

Because of my father, we are that Shining City on a Hill.

But all the love in the world won't save a sinking ship. You have to either bail or jump overboard.

Rats desert a sinking ship.

I believe in the promise of America. Being a Cuban refugee, having come here when I was eight, I know that this is a shining city on the hill.

The challenge is not to replace Obama but with who. It's not enough to just change up the uniform, if we don't change the team and the game plan, we won't save our country.
