Obama may delay Hawaiian vacation over tax fight

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.

While administration officials do not expect that Obama will have to stay in town until Christmas Eve, which he did last year because of health care reform, they believe there could be a delay of at least a couple of days.

I don't know Haz, have you been in DC in December? Hawaii and beaches vs Peolsi, Boehner and a 35 degree drizzle? Pelosi, Boehner and drizzle vs Hawaii and sunshine? I think the man deserves credit for even considering it. Of course if he wanted to solve the problem, he could offer to take the two of them with him, but no one is that self sacrificing.

One of the Sunday chat shows asked some Dem about that "debate". He said Obummer would "talk to the Reps", The host asked flat out "Will he compromise with them", the stooge's reply was that "He would talk to them".

Here, drink this Kool-ade.
