Earlier someone postulated a movie theme to what is going on..

I suggest "Americathon":

"Americans elect Chet Roosevelt (Ritter) as President. Roosevelt, a "cosmically inspired" former governor of California, proves to have little in common with Teddy Roosevelt or FDR other than his name. Roosevelt, an overly-optimistic man who quotes positive affirmation slogans, stages a number of highly publicized fund raising events, all of which fail. "

An airhead elected primarily because of his name....

Best line of the movie.."I'm Chet Roosevelt, your President, and I love you"
