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.

I don’t expect anyone to ask “Mr. President, do you still grade yourself a B+, and I have a followup.”
LOL
In another FR post regarding ObamaCare, the TZ episode "The Obsolete Man" was a perfect match.
Here, the TZ episode "It's a Good Life" matches the Man-Child PERFECTLY. For those of you unfamiliar with the Twilight Zone (classic) episode, go watch "It's a Good Life" & see how much that "monster" resembles the Monster in the White Hut.
I sense a pattern emerging...
Obama is taking time away from his vacations to actually answer a few pre prepared questions handed out to his supporters in the press to ask them at a fake news conference?
I will be watching with bated breath /s
...or Mr. President, any regrets? or Mr. President, will you admit you were wrong?
I’ve asked the mods to add “LIVE THREAD” to the header.
Classic! And, so very appropriate.
Unfortunately for the press corps, Barry wouldn’t make much of a meal.
It’s the perfect image of a narcissist.
“Remember, you drink a beer every time he blames Bush.”
I cannot drink that fast. :D
now you have been on power for this time have you found your way around the white house without letting lost sir?
How did it feel giving a medal to a soldier?
Did you finish the basketball court in the white house ?
Yea can’t wait for this press asking questions ARF
Rofl...excellent!
LOL!! I hope the press asks him about his sex change operation. He has never addressed that! :)
Mr. President (sigh), do your feet actually get wet when you walk on water?
