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.
