President Barack Obama defended his administration’s nuclear deal with Iran

President Barack Obama defended his administration’s nuclear deal with Iran, trying to convince people who weren’t quite feeling it. “My hope is that building on this deal, we can continue to have conversations with Iran that incentivize them to behave differently in the region, to be less aggressive, less hostile, more cooperative,” he said. Obama made it clear that he’d veto anything that stood in the way of sealing the deal.

The press conference took a strange turn when a reporter asked Obama if Bill Cosby’s Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he received in 2002, should be withdrawn. "If you give a woman — or a man for that matter — a drug and have sex with that person, that's rape," he said. "And I think this country, any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape." But he stressed that there is no precedent for revoking the Presidential Medal.
