Bush's Remark About God Assailed (washingtonpost.com): "Evangelical Christian leaders expressed dismay yesterday over President Bush's statement that Christians and Muslims worship the same god, saying it had caused discomfort within his conservative religious base. But most predicted that the political impact would be short-lived."

Thanks to my friend from Madison for this one. It does appear to be an odd situation for Bush. On one hand, trying to assure the world that he doesn't hate Muslims or Islam, on the other hand trying to keep his friends happy on the right who do hate Muslims and Islam. Odd, I think the RR would have referred to Clinton as waffling if he tried this trick.
