Actually President GHW Bush was DCI from 1976-1977.
The DCI during JFK was John McCone and during RFK's death it was Richard Helms.
There are allegations that when Bush was at Zapata Oil that his company worked with the CIA, such as the Bay of Pigs operation. This could mean he may have been a CIA asset, but he was not an employee of the agency. He left Zapata Oil to run for Congress in 1966.edit on 29/4/11 by MikeboydUS because: t

At one time there were lots of ties to the Rockefellers, but their dynasty has waned over the years. The same with the Rothschilds who are a shadow of who they were over 100 years ago. These dynasties of oligarchs rise and fall. The De Medici family is a good past example.
In many ways the birth of modern corporations have replaced the aristocratic dynasties of the past. The corporations have taken on a life of their own. With the emergence of various complexes in the post WW2 world, things have become complicated. Various corporations align themselves in essentially consortiums pushing shared agendas, for instance the Defense and Energy Industries. On the opposite end there is a Information, Media and Finance complex. The complexes themselves have seemed to surpass the old families and appear to be evolving into something like an organism.
Japan actually had a group of very powerful familes that guided their industries and finance prior to WW2. After the war their legacies have lived on in the Zaibatsu they gave birth to. Like the American complexes, the Zaibatsu hold a vast amount influence across a wide spectrum, example Mitsubishi which controls Japan's largest bank and also has heavy industries (they build tanks), are one of the largest auto makers, operate nuclear plants, and develop oil and gas. Also like the American complexes, they have taken on lives of their own.
