    You are giving way too much power to the president. Congress has to pass the laws (as you implicitly stated) before he can decide if he wants to veto. I'm not saying the president doesn't have responsibility, but he shouldn't be constantly singled out when it takes literally hundreds of legislators to make a law. I'm not saying this is the case here, but also keep in mind that the president isn't "the guy who makes the final decision on ALL LAWS passed" because congress can override his veto. To reiterate, I know I'm being a bit nitpicky here but these details really matter as they are what stops a president from being anything like a dictator.

    Freedom of speech is not an unlimited freedom to say whatever wherever. Just ask the occupy wall streeters.

    Well the NDAA was shot down, I havent heard of this since I dont have cable or free tv. Congress does as little work with managing the relentless number of bills that run thru it's halls as Obama does with creating Unconstitional Acts.

    But why is it that some of these new laws come into existence when the people speak directly against what the Government is doing? Since when can we not call out things that are not right? No one else is monitoring anything in the "Leader Boards"; but the people would have no reason whatsoever to gather in mass if there was not an obvious issue and I believe that they have the right to speak clearly and directly to the people whom create the nonsense we live in.

    Like how the UK residents act when BS comes about.

    I'm not quite sure what your post is getting at. Although we generally want speech to be as free as possible, we recognize that there are valid reasons to limit speech in certain instances (libel, yelling fire in a crowded theatre, etc). That being said, people can and regularly do protest things in this country in a very public way. Not surprisingly sometimes people abuse their power to try and silence their critics. If we feel politicians are unduly removing our freedoms, we have a process to remove them.
