Obama to face hungry press corps
By Sam Youngman and Ian Swanson - 09/10/10 06:00 AM ET

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.
