Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday faulted President Obama for a weak Iranian nuclear deal because, he claimed, the Iranians "don't fear nor do they respect" the president.

"The best deal I think comes with a new president," Graham, a potential 2016 candidate, said on Face the Nation. "Hillary Clinton would do better. I think everybody on our side except maybe Rand Paul could do better." —Jon Terbush
