No, it is just one in a stream of actions taken before the SOTU. There is always a flurry of proposals, personnel announcements and new legislation in the year prior to the elections. From this point on there will be nothing on anyone’s agenda but the election.

The time to have done this was immediately following the umpteenth time the democrats blocked a vote on GW's appointments.

No wonder the WH takes our votes for granted. We're SO easy to please.
