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.

Something about that facial expression of his reminds me of James Earl Jones playing “Thulsa Doom” in the Conan the Barbarian movie.
I’m not going to believe he had an ear-piece, until I see the photo. The teleprompter was quite visible however.
Unlike Obama, Christie speaks the truth and has the FACTS on his side.
I cannot believe I am saying this, but please, God, visit this man and cause him to repent of his ways and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Descend on DC and perform miracles in the hearts of our representatives, their staffs and their acolytes. Imbue their hearts and open their eyes to the Glory of the Most High. Instill in them the absolute faith in the Lord Christ Jesus and lead them away from their wickedness and desires to tear this nation apart.
In Jesus’ Name, I humbly ask this, Amen.
Thanks, Mags.
I was listening to Rush this morning and he said he thought Obama must not be using his teleprompter because every word he said had a (period) after it. But then he looked real close and he saw that he was using the teleprompter. He said people must have been feeding him the answers real slow because they had to think how to answer the questions.
I bet he was on something also.
“Now ABC is showing the nutcase threatening to burn the koran.”
And just how does threatening to burn a Koran make one a “nutcase”?
If it were up to me They (the Muslims) would all be deported back to the Hellholes where they came from. Those that don’t voluntarily go back should be put in “chain gangs” like those portayed in the movie “Cool Hand Luke” until they would be glad to hop on the plane to Saudi Arabia. Any interference by the Muzzies overseas to this should be followed up by an immediate Nuking of Mecca. Domestic interference should be handled with firing squads.
I guess that makes me a real “nutcase”!

The only thing I would argue with Ms. Estridge about is that he is an “intellectual” and “academic”. He’s the guy in school who smokes dope at parties and then pontificates on the state of world with not one iota of real thinking behind his words. The others in the room who have also had a few hits are amazed by his brilliance and shake their heads in agreement.
Is this really a true photo?
LOL!
That picture is posted on Drudge and Rush is saying he had a prompter.
Yes, it is a screen capture.
LOL again. We must be on a wave.
United in disgust for selected president. POS.
We ALL know what that one is.
excellent!
Washington - President Obama gave an emotional defense Friday of the right to practice Islam in the U.S. and build a controversial mosque near Ground Zero.
"This country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal, that they have certain inalienable rights," Obama said, citing the Declaration of Independence. "One of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely.
"And what that means is that if you could build a church on a site, you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on the site."
"Now I recognize there are extraordinary sensibilities around 9/11," Obama added, but "we are not at war against Islam. We are at war against the terrorist organizations who have distorted Islam".
