Yes. The President was quoting McCain word for word. But that part was left out to make it seem like the President said that.

Yeah, those words weren't changed, either. But that ad was a lie, too. And yes, indeed it was "deceptively edited" with "only the relevant parts" played.

That would obviously be a case of "deceptive editing". I don't think anyone would dispute that. Another case of "deceptive editing" was the guy at NBC who edited the 911 call in the Martin case. And I think the ACORN tapes were deceptively edited.

I agree about NBC. Considering that the entire tapes had been out for a day or two already, why they did that was ridiculous. I think it was just a morning show time saving cut, as it wasn't an initial story release about them, it was a followup interview discussion if I remember right (didn't see any NBC stuff until after they were caught editing unfairly). But it was wrong to do so.
