Do you really think a politician like Bush or Obama really governs the USA ?

1. The US is not a democracy in original sense, common people cannot elect directly. As they say it is a 'constitutional republic'. This means rich powerful people influence elections and build up the candidates themselves. No politician is rich and/or powerful himself to pay those fees for entering as a candidate.
Unless Mr. Ford or Rockefeller would have campaigned themselves.
(Which is why i would propose to elect our economical bosses directly, without using politicians as puppets. Spares a lot of money.)

2. The second a politician has been elected, the real powers (economical and those who really know, like e.g. secret services) tell him what's really up, and that is when he can say goodbye to his ideals and campaign pledges (if there was any idealism left). With this new nasty knowledge of what's really going on there is not much leeway to navigate, for the 'president'.
