With his presidency at a crossroads, President Obama will face the media Friday at his first press conference since the spring.
As an increasing number of political analysts predict that Republicans will win the House this fall, Obama on Friday will defend his economic policies and hope to fend off questions about his weakened political standing.
The key for Obama will be to stay on message -- vote Democrat or return to the policies of the George W. Bush administration -- as reporters try to get the president to make news.
Obama addressed some of the most burning questions by sitting down for a TV interview while traveling to Cleveland on Wednesday.
In an interview with George Stephanopolous for ABC's "Good Morning America" that aired Thursday, Obama was asked repeatedly about Republican criticisms of his economic policies and the coming debate over whether to extend Bush's tax cuts.
Obama refused to threaten a veto over the increasing likelihood that Congress will extend all of the tax cuts for a year or two, which would hand the GOP a victory.
The president also voiced confidence that his party will win the mid-term elections this fall, despite polls suggesting Republicans have a good chance of winning the House, and an outside chance of winning the Senate.

Should be a Hoot as Obama dodges the Marshmellows.
Crossroads, my A$$..he started down the road to Hell a long time ago!
live on CSPAN at 11am EDT for you softball fans
Yeah, we expect the WH Press Corpse to admit they were wrong for the last 5 decades.
Pray for America
Will he use his ever-irrepressible line “Hey, guys, I’m buying shrimp!” I just love that line. Says so much about His Royal Teleprompter-Ass, don’t (sic) it?
Questions submitted in advance for approval, of course...................
“Obama to face hungry press corps (Obama to face softballs)”
And maybe he’ll throw the softballs back in his famous, but truly manly, bent-arm style, typical of so many manly men. Remember his one-bounce throws at the baseball openers???????
What is so disgusting is that Stroker will still manage to lie even when answering a softball non-question from one of the SRM lapdogs.
BO’s lap dog corps will be there to admire his teleprompter-reading performance and get a copy of his lies so they will have their talking points until the election.
blah,blah,blah, bush, blah,blah, wall street, blah,blah, inhereted, blah,blah, stimulus, blah,blah.
repeat
“Questions submitted in advance for approval, of course...................”
And, of course, written for his TelePrompTers so he doesn’t get off line too often. He’s too stupid to handle regular questions like Bush did, so he’ll have to be totally scripted. If not, he’ll get nervous and start barking like a little kick-me dog. Can’t wait.
I’d watch this nonsense if the only one asking questions was Gov Christie of NJ.
He’s have Obama wetting his pants and shaking by the second question.
It will be nothing but scripted questions from fawning synchophants responded to with an endless litany of mindless platitudes. We’ve seen this show before.
Love a chance to bring this back out-—

This is his first press conference since spring? Sheesh. Whatever happened to his promise that he would not rest until America was working again? Loose that out on the golf course perhaps?
