No, it's something every candidate does. People want confidence in their leaders. To the public "When I'm President, I will . . . " sounds better than "If I'm elected President, I will . . . " The first statement shows that they have enough confidence in themselves and their abilities that they believe they will be elected President. The seconds statement leaves room for doubt and makes it sound like they're only hoping they'll be elected.
See Donny's post/photo. His refusal to even make any sort of eye contact with Obama was almost as if he was a lesser being. Don't talk about disrespectful.

What a totally awesome argument! Kerry won the first debate in 04 and lost, so Barack will too! Its all so clear now!! Thanks! Meanwhile, check the "who ya gonna vote for polls", then get back to us.
Keep repeating this point if it makes you feel better. Every presidential candidate says this. Heck, every candidate for senator, congressman, mayor, alderman, and school board member says this.
The first to shake Lehrer's hand?? OMG!! EARTHSHATTERING!! The old man can run! There is no spinning it, IROC, McCain did not show as much class as Obama did tonight. The polls are backing it up. Obama was more presidential. Before, during, AND after. Sucks for McCain, that was HIS image to lose.
Oops.. I've proven you wrong again... Let me ask you.. do you look before you walk, or is it more like your posting style... taking leaps without knowing where you're going?
ok you ignorant ass thats actually how its pronounced. just because he didn't say it in the 'american way' doesn't mean its wrong. actually a lot of things in the 'american way' are wrong. also, Akmendandijad? wtf??? that was hilarious.
You aren't proving a thing except your desperation. The numbers say you're wrong, dead wrong. You have a photo of McCain looking him in the eye, omfg, stop the presses. Of course he looked him in the eye -eventually-. You act as if you produce a microsecond of something it amounts to an hour. Not buying that dung heap... neither are the voters. Guess what, IROC, people saw a grumpy old man tonight numerous times speak down to his colleague and also persistently avoid the personable standards we've come to expect from our elected officials in these exchanges. You cannot spin it, but per normal, you're trying.
And a third... Face it you had no proof, again, of the lack of eye contact... Admit your mistake, or is this like the surge? BTW- your picture was after they'd already stared each in the eyes... as McCain was approaching Lehrer. No one was claiming he "can run." Admit your smear was unfounded.
desperation is a stinky cologne, IROC. embrace obama, he'll be your new president in a few months... accept it, engulf yourself in it. you can be born again, IROC!
And a third? Post of the same picture... seriously? Are you on, or off, something you should be taking? What is with you tonight? Just man up and accept the will of the people, they do not think McCain was the Presidential one tonight, Obama was. Take up your issue with them. McCain refused eye contact with Obama several times during the debate. End of story. EDIT** LOL the freaking NAME of the picture is "eyecontact"... if THAT doesn't tell you how incredibly worried the Reps are about McCain's lack of Presidential appearance in the debate, nothing will.
to those that claimed McCain made no eye contact, somehow showing disrespect... Three different shots... this is only after searching one photo source. Try again. The point of your point is no point at all.
Yep. They're all the same... that's why the only person moving from shot to shot, as McCain stares Obama in the eye, is Obama. I can't help it if you can't spot the differences. EDIT: I named the images just for you...
