Posted by James Pindell September 3, 2007 01:29 PM

Today, Barack Obama delivered a speech that attempted to contrast his experience from "Washington experience". The Illionis Senator sought to explain that his experiences in community outreach efforts in Chicago, and legislative experience has a state Senator, are comparable to rivals who have spend more years in Washington.

What: Barack Obama Delivers A Labor Day Speech

Where: Veteran's Park in Manchester, NH.

How many people: According to the Obama campaign 1, 500 people attended

How many media were there: 10 TV cameras, 3 live reports and national media personalities Joe Klein, Carl Cameron and Candy Crowley.

Best quote of the event: "So let's be clear – there are a lot of people who have been in Washington longer than me; who have better connections and go to the right dinner parties and know how to talk the Washington talk. Well I might not have the experience Washington likes, but I believe I have the experience America needs right now."
