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.

Yep..he said it. The talk show dudes will be playing it the rest of the day and SHOULD!! It was pretty ridiculous and pathetic. He is basically saying that 911 should from here on out should be about loving and tolerating Muslims. (eye roll) He jumped the shark!
How many questions now? The clock is about to run out.
Just noticed he has a mini earpiece in his right ear.
would love to have a hack to listen in on that wireless line
He is the most humorless politician ever.
I’m done now.
How dare he talk in a friendly tone about dearest Bibi.
A illiterate.....
He did take legal writing at Haaaaaavaaaaard, didn't he?
He is such a jerk. I have 1/2 a mind to go buy a Koran and burn it just to piss him off.
watching Tom & Jerry instead.

yikes! the violence.. :-)
We’re watching a cartoon too!
60 minutes completed, how long do they usually go?
His performance is inexpert and shameful.
Humiliating trash POTUS.
1) Barry says Afghanistan is the 2nd poorest country in the world, multi-ethnic population, not strong government. Then he blames Bush (not by name) for not getting the job done. He is making sure the job is done correctly. "We've made progress." Babbles nonsense.
2) Says Bibi should extend settlement moratorium. Babbles more nonsense. "Seeing the world in the other person's eyes." Clearly doesn't know what he is talking about.
Ann Compton Really????
wow is Anne Compton not good looking
will Gitmo remain open another year?
“Ann Compton Really????”
I really hate that partisan bitch!
how long do they usually go?
‘’until Pissy Matthews trousers are soaked..
He said *terrorists* again.
Yeah, right. Keep them locked up.
Maybe like the Lockerbie bomber.
[/s]
And Barry blames “politics” for keeping Guantanamo open.
Idiot. Liar.
Ann Compton asks why O’s convinced that civilian trials for KSM and 9-11 terrorists are a good thing, and if Gitmo will stay open for another year.
