What is the deal with the new overtime issue?

[Bush was AWOL]

I worked a long day and have not had a chance to read up on the subject, but I live in Columbus Ohio and as I was working out tonight I noticed the local night guy (huge Bush apologist/supporter) was taking a lot of angry calls tonight. Even several republicans involved in labor called in saying Bush slit his throat with this overtime stuff. Could this be politically demaging to the Bush admin. or are these people going over board? Does anyone have a good link that thoroughly addresses this issue?

2. You can only hurt people economically so much before they

will start ignoring the social issues and focus on the economic issues. That is what is going to happen with these new overtime rules, those whose main sticking point was abortion or gay marriage are going to be very unhappy about this overtime rule change.
