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.
