WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama ran into objections from congressional Democrats on Monday to an emerging year-end agreement with Republicans that extends income tax cuts to the wealthy as well as the middle class and grants additional relief to large estates.
Other elements of the possible agreement included a cut in workers' Social Security taxes and an extension of unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless.
Top Democrats traveled to the White House and left later without discussing the details of their discussions with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Several officials said there was discontent over tax cut provisions that Republicans had demanded from the president, apparently successfully.
The White House meeting occurred after Obama returned to Washington from a trip to North Carolina, where he said he and Congress must "make sure we're coming up with a solution, even if it's not 100 percent what I want or 100 percent what the Republicans want."
