Is it a Democrat tendency or what? Do Democrats naturally overstate how bad things are or how good their policies will make them? Are Republicans inclined to understate except on national security issues?
Listening to Barack Obama's speech yesterday brought those questions to mind. Then Tom Daschle's testimony before Congress yesterday reinforced the curiosity. Daschle couldn't have portrayed a more negative image of health care in the U.S. and Obama couldn't have protrayed a more desperate picture of economic conditions in the U.S. and around the world. Do they believe in what they're saying or is this just salesmanship? Will they continue to exagerate or was yesterday a fluke?
