Obama says will push ahead on payroll tax cut (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? President Barack Obama vowed on Friday to push ahead with efforts to pass a payroll tax-cut extension, even if the negotiations disrupt holiday plans for lawmakers and himself.

After a government report showed the U.S. jobless rate dropped to a 2-1/2-year low of 8.6 percent in November, Obama said it was crucial to keep the growth going.
