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.

Wow, it must be serious of Obama has to delay yet another vacation.

Poor baby. Bring president isn’t as fun as he thought it was going to be, is it?

[firebrand]

Look out ahead. The last time he postponed a vacation to stay in DC and twist arms, we got the health care bill.

[ColdOne]

For a guy who is always on vacation not a problem for him. He did this last year if I remember correctly.

Going to grandmama’s unitarian church for non-Christmas again? Or getting some sun on the beach to beef up his fading tan?

[Buckeye McFrog]

The GOP has already sold us out on “food safety”.
And it looks as if they are about to do the same on
Obamacare repeal. If they compromise on this, it will
be Torches and Pitchforks time (and they won’t be coming
for Democrats!)

So, does that mean a Florida vacation is in order?

[colorado tanker]

He will try to wring every bad bill out of the lame-o duck Congress he can before he loses his majority.

If BHO has to delay a vacation, we will pay the price.

[a fool in paradise]

Pack your bags, get ready for another vacation!

I didn’t even know yet ANOTHER vacation was on the horizon. With everything going on at home and in the world. What a POS. He’s going to stick around to make sure we get a tax hike.

Well then somebody is breaking Obama's confidences. He did say this privately after all.
