The President holds power over policy processes, priorities, and persuasion. The document discusses the Patriot Act and how it authorized information sharing between law enforcement and intelligence agencies to help connect dots and disrupt terrorist threats while protecting civil liberties. It also discusses some of the key domestic and foreign policy areas a President would focus on like the economy, healthcare, national security, and relationships with other countries. The media, especially cable news networks and online content, has become very powerful and influential in shaping public opinion and the success of politicians.

Policy, Media, and Power 10/18/2006
As discussed in last class The President holds power in regards to: Process How we do it Priority Which do we do first or the best? Persuasion People listen to the President, and if its your party follow him.
Process Example Patriot Act `(5) the term `domestic terrorism' means activities that-- `(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; `(B) appear to be intended-- `(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; `(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or `(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and `(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.'.
Patriot Act (Quote from George Bush) "The law allows our intelligence and law enforcement officials to continue to share information. It allows them to continue to use tools against terrorists that they used against -- that they use against drug dealers and other criminals. It will improve our nation's security while we safeguard the civil liberties of our people. The legislation strengthens the Justice Department so it can better detect and disrupt terrorist threats. And the bill gives law enforcement new tools to combat threats to our citizens from international terrorists to local drug dealers."
It gets better ) It shall not be unlawful under this chapter for a person acting under color of law to intercept the wire or electronic communications of a computer trespasser transmitted to, through, or from the protected computer, if `(I) the owner or operator of the protected computer authorizes the interception of the computer trespasser's communications on the protected computer; `(II) the person acting under color of law is lawfully engaged in an investigation; `(III) the person acting under color of law has reasonable grounds to believe that the contents of the computer trespasser's communications will be relevant to the investigation; and `(IV) such interception does not acquire communications other than those transmitted to or from the computer trespasser.'.
Straight from the White House The Patriot Act Authorizes Vital Information Sharing To Help Law Enforcement And Intelligence Officials Connect The Dots Before Terrorists Strike. The Patriot Act enables necessary cooperation and information sharing by helping to break down legal and bureaucratic walls separating criminal investigators from intelligence officers.

Policy (Agenda) What do you want to accomplish as President? Domestic Social Security (hot topic) Jobs! Economic Growth! Healthcare Its such a big deal it has its own Council. Under President Bush, the Domestic Policy Council oversees major domestic policy areas such as education, health, housing, welfare, justice, federalism, transportation, environment, labor and veteran's affairs.
