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.

“’For. All. The. Progress. We’ve. Made. We’re. Not. There. Yet.’...”
I thinks the images were taken during his opening statement.
He neglects to mention that his version of ‘public service’ requires you to bend over & grab your ankles .....
“Saying now he responded to the lone nut preacher because he didn’t want the rest of the country doing what he was doing?”
And not to mention that this assclown actually believes that he can stop people from doing something just because HE stepped in.
What a MFCSAAH!
