Hypocritical Obama add: "imprisoned without due process.”

http://samuel-warde.com/2012/10/george-takei-recalls-time-in-wwii-prison-camp-in-new-obama-ad/

"...we were imprisoned without due process.”

This is a PRO-Obama add? While he fights (successfully) for NDAA to be reinstated?
From my first posts on here I've been called a troll or accused of being Red, but I don't care. This BS needs to be called out.

I noticed there was not a single response to the fact that this AD is wildly hypocritical. How can they use the phrase "due process" with a straight face? The position of Obama on this issue is indistinguishable from W or Romney. I'm sorry, is the name of this website BlindlyFollowUnderground.com ? My bad.

it just flies in the face of the act of passing NDAA, then supporting its use and reinstatement. Calling the ad hypocritical does not mean I support prison camps, it means he has no right to make that argument or pretend to stand specifically for due process. Am I the only one that noticed the whole NDAA issue? Everyone here seems too up to date with events for me to believe that no one knows what I'm talking about.

Specifically, it is some straight up bullshit to pass NDAA then employ the fear of detention without due process. If anything, his action, his reversal of his promise to veto and his standing up for it will create not only prison camps, but killings and torture.
