Mistaken Identity?

Why does the president (not just Obama, but any president). or any authority figure who wants to underline what they are saying with EXTREME GRAVITY start out any "serious" statement by saying, "Make no mistake...?" Who the hell was in danger of making a mistake?

Or is the use of this phrase somehow implying that any disagreement with the speaker's VITALLY IMPORTANT PRONOUNCEMENT is a mistake?
