A president cannot make laws. Only congress can do that. A president can sign something into law, or he can veto it. All presidents, including President Obama, have certain priorities and they hope congress will turn those priorities into laws, but it doesn't always happen the way a president might want it to.

Did Barack Obama made new laws?

No, he did not. Under the American system of government, a president can propose or suggest a new policy, and he can advocate for something he would like to see become a law. But he cannot make any laws. Only congress can do that. Congress votes on a bill, and if the bill gets enough votes, it becomes a law. After that happens, the president can either sign it or veto it. But the laws themselves still come from the congress.

Obama, in concert with Democrats in Congress, will block off-shore drilling as much as possible by strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations and through the enactment and strict enforcement of new laws and regulations. Any new laws which open areas to off-shore drilling will be effectively neutralized and negated by existing and new laws and regulations that will make off-shore drilling subject to long regulatory delays, long and costly lawsuits by government agencies or private parties, and other obstacles that will make off-shore drilling economically difficult or impossible.
