He can threaten veto and government shutdown into trying to embarrass his opposition. He pulled the same maneuver in 1995 to salvage his popularity. Since the misperception was out there in the public that the Republicans shut down the government and that they did nothing on the budget for 7 months, he was negotiating at the 13th hour to try to get pork for his constituents and his party members. re: 2.
