As for the actual substance of the thread, you seem to have missed this part of the original post:

However, the attack, like the one earlier today parsed McCain’s comments, quoting him on saying that the economy had grown but not including the fact that McCain acknowledged job losses and had said that the economic statistics brought “no comfort” to those suffering the most from the recent downturn.

And you think there’s “nothing extraordinary” in that.

In other words, your logic is approximately this: Obama is lying about McCain’s comments. Everyone knows all politicians lie. Therefore, no big deal, and Obama gets a pass. I see. Thanks for clearing that us for us dolts who still thinks our candidates shouldn’t be professional Pinocchios.

In any case, it’s important to note that as far as his speeches go, the man is just a face and a voice, just like McCain and Clinton. Not a single word of it is his. If you’re going to accuse a candidate of plagiarism, you should accuse them all of it, and pass a law requiring political speeches to be written by the speakers.

As far as the statements on the economy go, I’ve looked at both the statements of both politicians and at the raw data. As Obama stated, the economy has indeed been in trouble in terms of the average worker’s wage and employment in Lycoming County, relative to past figures. The problem is being inflated to try to get votes, certainly, just as McCain is inflating the good state of the economy to try to get votes. There’s nothing extraordinary going on on either candidate’s part, and we should all move on to the issues instead of fighting to see which candidates’ supporters can find the most dirt on the others.

Obama will be in for a rude shock when the general campaign starts this summer and he gets a dose of reality, if he thinks the questions in the last debate are tough, wait for the summer and fall. Wait for the 527 ads to come out and expose him for the socialist he is.

It’s like people couldn’t care less what is going on, they just want to be part of the movement.

This guy is trying to usher in the most serious threat of neo-communism this country has ever seen and the crowds are oblivious.

I think we are beginning to see how certain historical movements came to power. I would never have believed that the “hate America” movement could get this kind of traction. When you package it as hope and change, the masses eyes just seem to glaze over.

That Russian beauty that Putin is fawning over could learn some new moves from the Presidential candidate who’s middle name shall not be used.

“Our economy is in shambles”

Yeah! That 95% employment is tough! Shambles? In the words of Inigo Montoya,

” I do not think it means what you think it means.”
