| 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. WOW! Sacrificing his Hawaiian Vacation for the Little People. He's all heart. 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. Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the World. Gotta work on his tan. 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. How about staying in Washington doing the job for which you were elected. 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. ........... "The last thing we can afford to do right now is raise taxes on middle-class families," Obama said at an event in Kokomo, Indiana, on November 23. "If we allow these taxes to go up, the result would be that a lot of people most likely would spend less, and that means that the economy would grow less. So we ought to resolve this issue in the next couple of weeks so you've got the assurance that your taxes won't go up when that clock strikes midnight." Most likely spend less? I think his addiction to Hopium is showing. |
