There are so many Republicans running for president it's difficult for pundits to single out things to criticize. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan came up with an answer. She wrote a scorching op-ed about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker making his campaign announcement wearing an open collared shirt and no tie.

Vice President Joe Biden, who never tires of branding Republicans as the party of the rich, let slip in a speech that Democrats also have some wealthy individuals (including Hillary Clinton). Calling on Democrats to limit the role of big money in the primary season, he said, "We can demand that the people we support don't yield to millionaires and billionaires."

When President Obama went to Oklahoma to visit a federal prison he was greeted by about 10 people waving the Confederate battle flag. Odd, since soldiers in Oklahoma -- then a territory -- fought on both sides of the Civil War.
