... Obama is cutting short his vacation in the Pacific state of Hawaii and will return to Washington to resume talks with congressional leaders aimed at reaching agreement on a deficit reduction package before the year ends.
The White House says Obama will leave Wednesday and is expected to arrive back in Washington early Thursday.
Early last week,the president said he and Republican House Speaker John Boehner were relatively close to an agreement on a compromise to avert what is being called a "fiscal cliff" -- $500 billion in mandated spending cuts and tax increases that would affect almost all American workers starting January 1.

Obozo agreed to sequestration. Let him own it.
Looks like Obama wants Republicans to share in his failure...
THIS is very scary
Instead hold a news conference and in 30 seconds with no questions afterward, state the following:
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, even though you have no intention on truthfully reporting anything having to do with our Republican point of view without making us seem racist, sexist, bigots and homophobes, the President changed the terms of a previous agreement for 800 billion in new revenue to 1.6 Trillion and has yet to propose a single entitlement reform or spending cut but has used his usual flamboyant audacity to state that he has met us halfway. That is a lie straight from the pit of Hell. We await the condemnation of this spoiled, pampered, petulant, immature community organizing President in his inauguration, daily press briefings, and State of the Union address, and his party, along with the most scathing of vitriol that you in the Washington press corps can throw at us but we have made our last and final, take it or leave it offer.” Stand your ground. He will relent. He would not be cutting short his vacation unless he had polling data that suggests there is a greater than 50-50 chance he will get blamed for the fiscal cliff. You made the first mistake by being the first to state your position. Have you never been in a negotiation before? Don't act in your nature and continue to be stupid.
Coke supply running low.
Need to feel out Anna Wintour’s talents as UK Ambassador candidate.
Urgent presidential issues.
Where is Reggie?
OK, let me get this straight, for his his first 4 years he didn’t do squat other than vacation, play golf and campaign for his next 4 years, now he’s going to look “presidential” for a weekend so he can make this whole “fiscal cliff” thing look like the conservative’s fault. What a total A$$hat this putz is!
Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year.In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.
Ill be sure to get an extra newspaper for the extra coupons to clip Sunday so I can help fund another trip for this selfless, pennypinching, deficit hawk who is so worried about the me, the workin man.
I like it
- Maynard G. Obama
There ya go. I haven’t seen any reports of the Wide Load returning with Obama.

BINGO!
No Deal. Jump Obama.
Pardon the correction. You original made it appear we did that voluntarily.
I love how the media’s lamenting on how he had to take a “red eye” flight back to Washington.
According to the internet, a “red eye” flight is one “that departs an airport late at night and arrives at its destination early in the morning,” but “provides the passenger inadequate sleep” due to having to endure the nighttime flight in a cramped airplane seat.
Wait a minute - I thought Air Force One was a flying apartment! It’s not like he has to sit in a “cramped airplane seat.” I’m sure he had a nice cozy bed to sleep in while enroute.
Once again, the media’s trying to paint a sympathetic picture.
F Obama. This is all for show and “poor Obama has to take short vacation be accuse ofthe evil republicans”
It’s all flop sweat for the idiot masses.
I’ll bet he’s gonna be PISSED at having to abandon the tropics to come back into the cold for this!
Awwwwwwww ...
Here He comes to save the day!
