Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is considering at least a short delay to the start of his holiday vacation in Hawaii so he can try to work out a deal with congressional Republicans on the Bush tax cuts that expire December 31, CNN has learned.
Two senior administration officials tell CNN the White House has been getting signals that the lame duck session of Congress could drag on past December 18, when the president is scheduled to depart for Hawaii.
Obama has privately said he is willing to stay in Washington until Christmas Eve if necessary to finish the contentious debate over taxes, the officials said.

Oh My! Obummer having to stay in DC instead of his paid Hawaiian vacation. What does he tell the unemployed who are looking for jobs or to feed their family.

God forbid Dear Reader might have to delay his luxury vacation to attend to pesky matters of state.

Is there a tally somewhere of the number of days the Obamas have been on vacation since he took office?

Another vacation.
Fine with me. It’d be a lot cheaper to just let Obama and most of Congress stay on a luxury vacation for their entire terms.
They only make things worse when they’re ‘working’.

Is anyone tracking exactly how many vacations these people have taken?
It seems like every time I log onto FR, he and/or Michelle are going on vacation. It's GOT to be a record.

They celebrate Christmas? No, they just take advantage of the seasonal 'perks'...

We should pass a law that the next in the chain of command becomes President while he is out of country. It would cut down on travel for sure.

Say it ain’t so! DumBO give up playing golf and hoops in warmth is a non-starter. Greedy tax payers keeping ZerO in town are heartless.

He still has a week to get there before Christmas. As long as they leave by 23 December they should be ok to celebrate Christmas. I mean many of these vacations are unnecessary but I do believe that Christmas is not one of them. President Bush even took vacation on Christmas and I was happy to see it happen.
