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.

CHUCK TOAD IS THE WORST OF ALL.
I hope he buys knee pads buy the carton.
Odd question, but it’s got Barry0 stammering.
And talking all around it, definitely not answering.
Exerting their rights should be abandoned for his policies.
upChuck Todd is da man....
Oh that is the material Michelle wardrobe designer just ordered for her new evening dress.
Dual purpose.
I here they are going to have a campaign dinner at the WH and the table clothes will be in matching decor of her evening wear.
All except FOX. It is on all the cable news nets.
F. Chuck Todd is up..."How do you change Washington?" (Brain dead question.)
Obama say: Special interests, health insurance, credit card companies, clean air, tax cuts for those that need it, etc. Then he stammers on to blame Republicans for the bad blood in Washington. He's claiming to being a great leader for taking on the so-called "tough" issues. I cannot understand most of this babbling answer.
He’s off script and his advisors and cringing in the back room.
That was pitiful.

why are these mean Americans being suspicious of Muslims?
