I am not saying the President is not involved in Domestic issues, but really it is limited (or should be Constitutionally) to Law Enforcement and an advise and consent role, just as Congreses role on Foreign issues is an advise and consent role.
That's certainly the way it supposed to be I guess, but that's sorta like saying Congress creates the budgets. Theoretically, sure, but the President comes out with his budget every year, and the Hill gets the honor of messing with it, tweaking it and eventually voting on it, or, if they're the other party, offering an alternative budget.

Back to the point, it's significant where a Presidential candidate stands on domestic issues, even if he only gets to sign or veto legislation, since he's the defacto head of his party.
