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.

Obambi, Moochie, and the girls all sit around his blackberry and pretend they’re at church.
He’s a dunce when he’s off the telepromter and uncomfortable with the subject.
You’ll have to address that question to Hawking on the subject of infinity.
DITTO, only I would add snarly and condescending.
A wonderful day in his muslim neighborhood.
is HAARETZ an Israeli news org?
I can’t watch this ass clown anymore..it’s too pathetic. He is rambling on about the manufactured ‘Islamopobia crisis’. Says ‘tomorrow is a wonderful day to show tolerance...’...WTH??
Tomorrow is not a WONDERFUL DAY!! It’s a horrible reminder of an attack on this country and the loss of American lives. That blather needs to be isolated and played endlessly today on talk radio!
Yep. He sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads a long time ago.
CORRECT.
You betcha - that was one slow paced answer - searching for words.
Okay for Muslims to lie when deception is necessary.
“This is nothing but allowing Obama a campaign speech disguised as a press conference.”
Yes, and MSM will fawn all over it.
LOL!
It’s Eid tomorrow. 0bama gets to eat again. Maybe he gets to slit the goats’ throats in the WH basement his own self.
Oh, he's finished. But we have to wait awhile for the election votes to come in... ;0)
Actually the next question should be "Mr President, you haven't made a single comprehensible statement in the past 40 minutes. Do you have anything to say that can actually HELP the USA? Because it doesn't seem at all as though you can."
He is babbling in phrases, not in sentences.
That seems to indicate he does not fully believe what he is saying.
if that's the case, they'll lose because his speech sucks bigtime
Was she a Palestinian wearing a veil?
