... based on his MO and history.
He did a dog and pony show to prove to the 2/3s that did not vote for him just how hard he is trying to compromise and as soon as the cameras were off, he turned to the leadership and said basically, "That's nice but I won."

Suddenly, now that he has a Congress that WILL put a bill on his desk, the situation is so dire that he has to act, even though he had two years in which the situation was no less dire in which to act, but was afraid to.
One has to assume, therefore, that the dire straight he is in is that he knows he will not like the bill, on general principle, because it will be bipartisan and contrary to his leftist ideology. He cannot be seen vetoing it, so he acts now, and will act with great generosity, and as he has stated, anything the Congress passes will supersede his faux law and then in 2016, his party can once again run on what Republicans want to take away from the Democrat Party supplicants and wards.
