HONOLULU (AP) - With a yearend deadline looming before the economy goes over the so-called fiscal cliff, President Barack Obama is cutting short his traditional Christmas holiday in Hawaii, planning to leave for Washington on Wednesday evening.
Obama was expected to arrive in Washington early Thursday, the White House said late Tuesday. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple's two daughters are scheduled to remain in Hawaii until Jan. 6.
In the past, the president's end-of-the-year holiday in his native state had stretched into the new year. The first family left Washington last Friday night.
Congress was expected to return to Washington on Thursday. Before he departed for Hawaii, Obama told reporters he expected to be back in the capital this week.

Can't wait to see what the far right has to say about this, surely there must be some antagonistic response.
i'll give you a response buddieroe and remember it's better to be far right than far wrong...
"what a sacrifice" for o to come back from a wonderful time of basking in the sun and golfing with his questionable co-horts.
he better get back here and do the job we pay him to do; especially since he hasn't done much except to destroy our country since his first day in office.
HE saved taxpayers 2 million
Hawaii is not his native state. Try Kenya. He is not saving us anything.
Why should we have to pay for her and the kids to stay until Jan 6??????? Esp while he has returned to raise our taxes!!!
lol trust me, he will get it back double time
We would probably be better off if he stayed in Hawaii forever.
Don't forget their dog flies on a separate plane because it is forbiden for Muslims to travel with their pets.
He never should have left... not to save the tax payers money, but to do what needs to be done.
More smoke and mirrors...
