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.

Did he really say that, ver batim? WE??
If so, that’s a virtual admission of who he identifies with.
He is proselytizing for Islam again.
They should put him next to the old animated Abe Lincoln at DisneyLand..
Animatronics has come a long way
What about telling the enemy your date for walking away from the war?
Just once I’d like to see someone switch the text on the teleprompter and see how long it takes Hussein to realize what happened...” uh, and it is my firm belief that Michelle’s ass does indeed qualify for its own zip code...HEY!!”
That’s his strategy, to be so long-winded and slow in answering nobody can readily keep track of his often not responding to the actual question asked and to use up all his time without chance of any unexpected or rogue questions being slipped in on him.
He is proselytizing for Islam again.

none too subtlely either
Was in the middle of work meeting- was it really dreadful?
I am sickened by this POS. He is quick to defend everyone but the American people. Yes this country was founded with religious freedoms. But you can bet your ass it was founded with Islam in mind.
LOL. I have a half mind to send a couple of burnt pages to him, but I reckon I’d get a visit from the authorities.
was not founded with Islam in mind.
HUH?!
You are so right about this presser. I watch ‘em all and I feel sicker and sadder about our country than any I can think of.
If this guy is REALLY in charge of things we’re doomed. November may not even come fast enough, much less January 2011 or Nov 2012.
Thanks. I am listening to Rush and that mofo (zero - piss be upon him) took up part of his show.
It.
Was.
Painful.
