i'm starting to think the u.s. should (temporarily) have a foreign person

Ah, yes, because a degree from that vaunted hive of great minds, Eureka College, trumps Harvard Law School any day of the week.

Anyone can see the difference in their educational upbringing. Reagan was productivity for the sake of productivity. Obama spends most of his time with Holder, trying to find legal ways to go around Congress.

I vote for Mr. Gru. 

In the first episode he's all like, "No kissing, or hugging, or kissing."  By the end of the second installment he's having a tongue wrestling contest with an orange-haired, thrill-seeking American bimbo who wants to marry for the sake of adventure. 

Anyone can become an American.  That's what great about this country.  You can't do that in Japan, for example.  You can move to Japan and you can learn to read and write and speak Japanese, but unless you start off Japanese, you'll never become Japanese.

Anyway, Mr. Gru is a perfect example of a foreign person who is power hungry and malicious (just like U.S. politicians!) but who ends up being a regular Joe.  He has my vote in this regard.

What incentive do they have to fix the United States? If we're giving them pay incentives, we could do the same thing for US citizens.

None of our politicians have economics degrees or rigorous business training, which should be a minimum prerequisite for anyone who controls $3T in government revenue.

Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton, W Bush all had economics or MBAs from prestigious institutions. Obama does not.

I'd love to know the relevance of an MBA to government administration.
