All told it doesn't strike me as being any worse than a lot of other things that Japan has done. It and "Metal Wolf Chaos" seem like political satires for people outside of the country being satired. Sort of like how the left wing did "That's My Bush" and "'Lil Bush" during his presidency which probably would have been fairly incomprehensible to people who didn't know American politics.... which I'm guessing most Japanese people don't actually have a working knowlege of, so they are satirizing the system itself through the one role they really pseudo-understand (The President).
However, I also suspect a lot of this is based on the desire for Japan to be relevent, and have some of the things you see in the US. The idea of a democracy appearing, and of course most importantly the idea of serious international relevency to anything except trade. For example Japan is not likely to go toe to toe with Russia on *ANY* issue like suggested there. It's just not a world power on that level, even if the Prime Minister was replaced.
What's more one also has to consider that going by that trailer, even if they "fixed" things by replacing the Prime Minister and using mind control powers to cause acceptance, it does not explain how Russia would be being run by a stylized cutie, OR how it would be in a position to do anything except intimidate europe.
It *could* be amusing, but as in general it looks like it's a combination of Japanese wish fulfillment (stylized as humor), combined with satire aimed at people who have no understanding of what is being satirized.
As far as the voice actors go, unless it's a fansub (which this does not appear to be) I believe a lot of bad Japanese dubs nowadays are bad on purpose specifically because Americans find them funny, and a lot of people have in the past bought bad dubs specifically for the humor value. I say this because there are enough good ones out there, and enough Japanese who speak english clearly and understand how it works, that there is no excuse for it anymore. Thus I get the impression they do it intentionally.
I look back at the whole "Tada-O" thing from "Earth And Beyond" as an example of what they are doing (except for real).
