Not too shabby.

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

He struck out the first four batters he faced, becoming the first Texas Rangers pitcher ever to do so (and the first in MLB since 1972).
