Maureen Dowd makes a smart point in this piece on Obama and the experience issue. Namely, experience can hurt as much as it helps:

Those on the president’s “dream team” of foreign policy advisers were haunted, not strengthened, by their years of past service in top jobs. When they got the chance to run the country again under W., all they wanted to do was finish unfinished business, misapplying old ideas to new crises, like those who sabotage new romances with baggage from old relationships.

It’s a good “grand unified theory” of Bush and crew, delivered as only Dowd can.
