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.

Does anyone have a screen capture of the ear bug? That could be used effectively and taken viral on the ‘net.
” He is speaking sooooooooo
slowwwwwwwwwwwly that I think he’s over medicated today.”
When I heard soundbites of Barry’s GMA interview with Stephy , I didn’t recognize that it was Barry at first.
He sounded so low energy and so extremely obtunded ,
that it seemed like he was on drugs or in the throes of a deep depression.
The media looks ridiculous for ignoring his obvious deterioration.
They're easy enough to print up from on-line sites, chapter by chapter! I think I know what I'm going to use to start my stove this winter.
You have to have some street smarts-Obama never had to get dirty.
That's what happens when people vote "for the most unknown candidate" to run for the presidency. He ran on Buzz words, there was nothing else to run on. He came out of nowhere, as if kept in the closet til just the right time, under the right handlers with their own agendas--the other candidates, Clinton and McCain had baggage. Obama traveled without any luggage and that should have thrown up more suspicion, it certainly does when flying our airlines.
People just have an unrealistic view of the world. Just fix it, don't bother me. Take everyone at face value.
Axelrod told him, “Be sure to say “my Christian faith, say it loud and say it often”. This video haunts them daily where he said “my Muslim faith”.

LMAO! I LOVE the People’s Cube.
Thanks for the good thread. :0)
Obama does not use Jones’ name, but argues that the plan by “this individual” to burn Qurans is not only contrary to the American ideal, but threatens the lives of soldiers in Muslim countries. The president also suggests that the media is more responsible for making Jones a global figure — “I hardly think we’re the ones who elevated this story,” the president says. (a shot fired back at the media)

Well according to his wife, he’s not that clean and the flies seem to love him.
In an interview in the October issue of Glamour magazine, Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois disclosed that her two girls refuse to cuddle with her husband in the morning because he is too “snore-y and stinky.”
“We have this ritual in the morning. They come in my bed, and if Dad isn’t there — because he’s too snore-y and stinky, they don’t want to ever get into bed with him. But we cuddle up and talk about everything from what is a period to the big topic of when we get a dog: what kind?” Michelle Obama told Tonya Lewis Lee, author and wife of filmmaker Spike Lee, in an interview for Glamour magazine.
