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.

He had to equate the negative effects of the Quran burning with the internet. When he tries to shut us down, he will use use that as an example, and as an excuse.

And tomorrow it will be 12 months to the dedication of the Flight 93 memorial and the proposed GZ mosque. Apparently, the rooftop of the WTC will be reached, but the 1776’ tower completion is ‘delayed.’
Obama just screwed up - “did you think we could insure 30 million more people for free?”
All he reads is what’s on TOTUS.
his ‘real ‘ name is Jacob...I wonder why that came out..

Hey, what happened to “unexpectedly”?
1) Burning a sacred text is contrary to American beliefs. Repeats that burning might put our troops in more danger. Calls it a publicity stunt.
2) He says that cutting the cost on healthcare is tough. The lies about how long it will take to "reduce" the costs. He claims that 31 million will get their "free" healthcare. Then lies more about this is the first month of coverage...blah. He lies some more about who gets covered.
3) He babbles on about why House Dems won't run on Obamacare. "That's how political races work." WTF??
Our potentate is getting pissed at ‘Jacob’ and it shows. No more soup for ABC...LOL!! Obama is steaming mad.
To heck with MUTE, I use the OFF mode.
