How does Barack Obama say this with a straight face after the speech he gave last night?

President Barack Obama has accepted Rep. Joe Wilsonโ€™s private apology for shouting โ€œYou lie!โ€ at him on the House floor during his nationally-televised speech on health care reform Wednesday night, but the South Carolina Republican was reportedly resisting demands for more public contrition over the incident.
โ€œIโ€™m a big believer that we all make mistakes. He apologized quickly and without equivocation and Iโ€™m appreciative of that,โ€ Obama said in response to a reporterโ€™s question during a Cabinet meeting Thursday afternoon.
โ€œWe have to get to the point where we can have a conversation about big important issues that matter to the American people without vitriol, without name calling, without the assumption of the worst in other peopleโ€™s motives,โ€ Obama said.
