Wash. Post's Meyerson asserted Clinton "hemm[ed] and haw[ed]" over Obama's religion

SUMMARY: The Washington Post's Harold Meyerson wrote that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "hemm[ed] and haw[ed]" in response to a question during a 60 Minutes interview "over whether [Sen. Barack] Obama really is Christian." In fact, CBS correspondent Steve Kroft asked Clinton whether she believes Obama is a Muslim, and contrary to Meyerson's characterization, during the interview, Clinton repeatedly made clear that she believes Obama is not a Muslim. Her first three words in response to the question -- "You don't believe that Senator Obama is a Muslim?" -- were, "Of course not."
