Oh yes he did? Why? Because of the smug hypocrisy and Stalinist tactics of Obama's chief adviser David Axelrod, who accused the US Chamber of Commerce of being a shill for foreign interests, and when called on it demanded that the chamber prove a negative. Axelrod was already smacked down by lefty Bob Schieffer for pretty much the same thing:

Heh. By the way, with his attack on the US Chamber of Commerce, even liberal pundits like Juan Williams are noticing that Obama is anti-business:TAPPER: But what do you say to people who argue you are demonizing an organization for a charge that nobody knows if it's true or not?
AXELROD: Well I'm not demonizing the Chamber of Commerce. I'm simply suggesting to them that they disclose the source of the $75 million that they are spending in campaigns and put to rest, put to rest the questions that have been, that have been raised.
TAPPER: Isn't that like the whackjobs that tell the president he needs to show them his full long-form birth certificate so he can put to rest the questions that have been raised?
AXELROD: The president's birth certificate has been available to people.
TAPPER: The long form?
AXELROD: Someone once in the course of this debate about whether we should have a law to force these organizations to disclose where they're money is coming from in the campaigns, someone said, and I think they're right – "the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide." If the Chamber doesn't have anything to hide about these contributions, and I take them at their word that they don't, then why not disclose? Why not let people see where their money is coming from?
