me vs we

Just a pet peeve of mine.
When a leader takes credit for something using the first person, where the third person is more accurate.
I think it says alot about a person. and limits how effectively they can work with people that don't agree with them on every detail.
That said, I think it is quite clear which candidate is a 'we' sayer, and which is a 'me' sayer.

the same thing can be said about use of second person when dealing with setbacks where third (or first) person is appropriate.
