Did this ad, "run in South Dakota," scare Obama into breaking his commitment to accept public financing for the general election?

The Washington Post's Shailagh Murray reported Obama claimed he opted out of public financing to be able to compete with independent conservative groups, although no such well-funded national organizations have materialized:
When a reporter pointed to the dearth of well-heeled, GOP-aligned independent groups emerging, Obama responded by asserting that they could "pop up pretty quickly and have enormous influence," adding: "And we've already seen them -- and there was an ad run in South Dakota . . . where it took a speech that I had made, extolling faith, and made it seem as if I had said that America was a Muslim nation."
Camp Obama must have some nightmarish polling data on this ad if it is indeed the reason Obama subjected himself to the criticism he received for his monumental flip flop.
