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.

It's a special place, and I believe in the prominence of America, and having America be and continue to be an exceptional place, and making no apologies for America being a superpower.

I believe the Obama administration, from the president on down, has taken a very weak position regarding granting Palestine statehood at the United Nations.

I believe in America. I'm one of those silly flag wavers.

I believe in karma.

I believe in my writing.
