Obama Scales Back Campaign Finance Criticism After Claims Decried as 'Baseless'

FoxNews.com: "President Obama on Sunday scaled back his claim that Republicans are taking foreign money for their campaigns, using slightly more ambiguous language at a rally in Philadelphia after GOP strategists warned Democrats against telling 'baseless' lies to win votes.
Democrats had been directing their criticism at the Chamber of Commerce and other GOP-supporting groups. But after the latest Democratic National Committee ad outright claimed 'it appears they're even taking secret foreign money to influence our elections,' White House senior adviser David Axelrod acknowledged that 'no one knows' where the money is coming from."
