you're the president, you can get on national tv anytime you like to explain things if you think people are confused .

"it was important for people to get a better sense for why I was saying what I was saying in my speeches."

But hey, those press conferences and talks from the oval office are usually scheduled late and run past your bed time, so I can understand why you chose to whisper into the ears of willing reporters in order to set the American people straight on Joe Wilson. I mean who are people going to trust more, President George W. Bush or some reporter from the New York Times relying on unnamed White House officials, oh...right...sorry I asked.
