Carson jabs Obama on Iran deal

Ben Carson jabbed at President Obama’s negotiating skills while touring an Iowa farmers’ market, criticizing the recently finalized Iran nuclear deal.

Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and GOP presidential candidate, said Obama did not push hard enough in the talks and settled for lax oversight and regulations.

Carson spoke while making a campaign stop at the Des Moines Farmers Market, as he works to line up support ahead of that state’s critical first-in-the-nation caucuses.

Carson’s visit was mainly a meet-and-greet and light on a policy message.

But the Iowans that did get a chance to chat up Carson came away with positive impressions.

“I love him. He’s fantastic. He’s refreshing,” said Norbert Juist. “He’s not an establishment candidate.”

As for Carson, he played it safe when asked about his favorite food at the market.

“They’re all my favorite,” Carson said. “How’s that for a political answer?”
