Bush is simply a puppet, much like all presidents are -- some more than others. McCain and Obama are pretty much identical, except McCain is overtly pro-war, while Obama is covertly pro-war. Both believe the government serves to run your life. McCain is being advised by Kissinger, Obama is being advised by Brzezinski. Both are being funded by the Rothschild-Rockefeller banking cartel, which they will be working for if put into office by their masters.
Remembering when Silverado Savings & Loan went down in the very early 90's not sure if it was Dwbua or his brother. But like we see today, banks going down is not exceptional news
depends on what you mean by "pick". If you mean telling everyone who will be charge and that's that then not really, their power and money comes from manipulation and coercion. If you mean that the person they want in charge will be in charge then yes. ex: if you walk in to a room and demand that the 10 people already in there do what you say it's going to be difficult and exhastive to get what you want done. If instead, you can convince them that what you want is what they actually want, play factions against each other, and get stooges to claim your words as their own, you can get pretty much anything you want done. Force and Coercion are both evils, but coercion is the worst as it asks the victim to play a hand at his own demise.
