2. In his reelection bid, Sen. Lindsey Graham faces a variety of colorful primary challengers, including former state Treasurer Thomas Ravenel. He writes a column for a local newspaper, but where can a national audience see Ravenel on a weekly basis? A. On the Bible Network's weekly live broadcast of services at the Baptist Church where he preaches B. As a regular panelist on Chelsea Handler’s E! show C. As a fill-in host for the Weather Channel D. As “T-Rav,” a cast member of a Bravo reality show Graham praises adminitration's handling of security threat

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday praised the Obama administration's efforts on shutting down embassies and consulates amidst security threats.

"They are taking the right approach to this. Benghazi was a complete failure. The threats were real there, the reporting was real, and we basically dropped the ball," Graham said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"We’ve learned from Benghazi, thank God, and the administration’s doing this right," the South Carolina Republican said. “Shutting down of embassies makes sense,"

Graham said that after Benghazi al Qaeda is "on steroids."

"They attacked our consulate, they killed an Ambassador…and nobody’s paid a price. After Benghazi, these Al Qaeda types are really on steroids, thinking we’re weaker and they’re stronger," said Graham.

Graham, who had a briefing Vice President Biden, said he and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will be traveling to Egypt "very soon" and the threats should not drive us out of the Middle East.

"This is an effort to terrorize us, to drive us out of the Mid East. And if we take the bait and try to come home and create a fortress America, we'll have another 9/11," Graham said. "So we have to show resolve, but we have to be smart."
