Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Sunday he would abandon Iran at the negotiating table without a deal over its nuclear arms research if he were president.
 “Right off the bat, I think you’ve got to pull back from this horrible Iran deal,” Walker told host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” in New York. “It’s a horrible deal.”
He said President Obama’s tentative pact with Iran over its nuclear energy capabilities was not tough enough on Tehran’s ruling regime.
“We didn’t make sure they were getting rid of their illicit nuclear infrastructure,” Walker said of the framework deal’s failings.
 “That’s not happening under this president’s deal.”
The Wisconsin governor added that Iranian leadership had a long and well-documented history of hostility towards U.S. interests.
“Iran is no different today in many ways than when I was a kid tying yellow ribbons around the tree in front of our house when that country was holding Americans hostage,” Walker said, citing the diplomatic crisis over Iran’s imprisonment of Americans there between 1979 and 1981.
Walker also said he would not stop with the elimination of the possible Iran accord.
Many of Obama’s other executive decisions deserved reversal, he said.
Walker said a united, bipartisan Congress was needed for such sweeping overhauls.
Such cooperation would please Americans, he said, as it was currently rare among lawmakers.
“The other big thing is you’ve got to pull the Congress together and start talking about … big, bold reforms,” Walker said.
“I think the American people are hungry for true, big, bold reforms.’
One such change, Walker argued, was reducing the size and scope of the federal government. Shrinking its power would help everyday Americans have more control over their daily lives, he claimed.
