From HattiesburgAmerican:
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour focused on federal issues Thursday at the Neshoba County Fair, denouncing Democratic President Barack Obama’s proposals on health care and the environment.
“Obamacare is a government-run health care system that would result in a federal government takeover of 18 percent of our economy,” Barbour told several hundred people under the tin-roofed pavilion on the fairgrounds outside Philadelphia.
The Neshoba County Fair attracts thousands of people every summer to the red clay hills of east Mississippi, with two days of political speeches during the eight-day gathering.
