You are absolutely correct. He did not misspeak. He did simply say that McCain did not make claims that he was a Muslim.

What he did do is restate it in a way that he could not be taken out of context by the Neo-Cons and that the quote could not be replayed on ad nauseam on Fux.
He deftly saw that it might be misinterpreted against him and nipped it in the bud.-

Even catching it immediately and explaining what he meant by it wouldn't have been enough to keep it from being front page (press) and leading news item (TV) material for weeks had he been a Republican. Were he a Republican the mainstream media would see it as an indication of low intelligence because (according to them) he was too stupid to say "my supposedly being a Muslim" instead of "my Muslim faith," and would report it in a way that made their opinion evident.
