The President Says...

Am I the only one who was annoyed when President George W Bush would say "I" when he could just as easily and more effectively said "we"?  That is, when he was saying that he was deploying forces he would say "I".  It would have, in my mind, been better if he had been collective about it and said, "we".

He was, after all, the President of a Republic and not the King of a nation.  His commitment of forces was a commitment in our name and thus we were the ones doing the commitment and thus we were the ones responsible, in the end, for how it turned out.  We did, after all elect him.♠

OK, now that we have narrowed the group to those who agree with me, are there any besides me who are annoyed when President Barack Obama says "I" when he could, and I would argue, should, have said "we"?

Thanks

♠  OK, for you Democratic leaning purists, he was elected by us, the voters, in 2004—or at least we elected sufficient electors to put him in the White House in the 2004 election.
