I’m with Ace on this one — not quite sure what “context” is in this case:
What the hell does “in context,” in this context, mean? Dude either ate dog or he did not eat dog. There is not some context by which you’d say, “Well, he ate a dog, but in context, he didn’t.”
Yeah, I’m skeptical. It seems that “context” in this case is a whole bunch of irrelevant material from Obama’s “Dreams From My Father.”
It seems like PolitiFact wanted to label this nugget as “pants on fire,” but seeing as how the president admitted to it in his book and on tape in his own voice, all they can do is offer “context.”
This still isn’t as bad as Buzzfeed’s Jack Shepherd who — after posting pictures of dogs being clubbed to death — still insists that eating dog is just like eating chicken.

Apr. 20, 2012 at 5:36pmLot’s of Asian cultures eat dog as a delicacy. My buddies could not talk me into trying it in Korea, when it was offered on the menu, but that is just me. I also had snakes as pets, as a kid, so I could never bring myself to eat snake dishes. Many of my scaley pets were rescued from the snake markets of Taipei before the locals could sink their teeth into them. Whether Obama is or isn’t fattening up Bo for a BBQ doesn’t mean anything to me. He would never, ever get my vote.
