No. The founding fathers designed into the U.S. Constitution a system of checks and balances that precludes any one person or branch of the government from having the sole power to pass a law. A bill must pass the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate before it is presented to the President to be signed into law.

President Obama cannot pass any laws; no president can. Laws are passed by congress, and then either signed or vetoed by the president. That said, presidents can (and do) advocate for certain laws, and try to encourage congress to pass them. There are many laws that President Obama would like to see congress pass, but he has not said anything about laws concerning freedom of speech. But you may be referring to the re-authorization of a law that allows the Secret Service to arrest protesters if they come too close to a restricted zone. That is a controversial law that was signed under President Bush, and many civil libertarians disagree with what a "restricted zone" is. In any event, President Obama did re-authorize that law.
