Go for it. As I stated before, his last two years can be used to fix a lot or cause a lot of strife. The President has shown little concern for others in his party and does love sticking it to those who don't agree with him. He really has nothing to lose, fixing the overtime rules would be a great step in restoring faith in the system; but I think 69k is aiming far too low. People should be allowed to work overtime, not be forced into it. Hence I am suggesting he aim really high, like the Roth income level cutoff. It already is a declaration of the government as the line between too well off to deserve the tax benefit.

From the left, this president is considered far too accommodating the right. This is one of those issues that everyone can see needs to be fixed and would be popular enough to be incontestable. I'm sure the republicans will be against it because they did not think of it first.

  To be fair, the President only works as hard as the votes he can get for his party. That's not over. Obama's job for the next two years is to do what he can to make it a possibility that another Democrat will come after him. That means he will do a lot, but whether or not he will take this specific action is hard to ascertain.
