CISPA was introduced by a Republican, and so was SOPA. PIPA was introduced by a Democrat. And Obama says he's going to veto it if it lands on his desk, because he's a smart guy.

As for NDAA, it was introduced by a Republican and a Democrat, making it a Bi-Partisan bill. However, there's one every year and it relates to defense spending. Including troops payment. Say Obama vetoes that bill? He stops payment on all the troops' paychecks even serving wartime. That's what makes that bill nigh unstoppable.

SOPA and CISPA, on the other hand, are standalone bills that have nothing that Obama needs to run the country with. Hence, a veto threat on these bills (as opposed to the NDAA) are quite likely to be taken seriously.

He hasn't made them worse, he's vetoed them all. And his hands are tied with the NDAA bill.
