If Bush was a drunk frat boy that fished a couple dollars out of your jacket at a party, Obama is... well, I'm blanked on the right analogy.

But still, he'd have to load the paper (and carry the result), which would limit the amount actually made, so that doesn't really work. Perhaps a hyper-active child spastically hitting the keys of a calculator whose minus and division keys he ate, leaving only digits, plus and multiplication?
