Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were asked what they thought of last weekend's "Saturday Night Live" cartoon in which Presidential hopeful Barack Obama tries to distance himself from their offers of help.
In the clip, Jackson and Sharpton show up separately to participate in the historic campaign, only for Obama to send them far away on bogus campaign business so that they won't tarnish his reputation.
"I laughed," Sharpton told columnists Rush & Malloy from the New York Daily News. "In fact, Barack has repeatedly asked for my support. I haven't endorsed either Barack or Hillary [Clinton]. As long as things are still up for grabs, I intend to remain neutral."
Jackson responded: "Why should I have to comment on some comedy writer's opinion?" He adds that he's happy to be part of the "supporting cast" of Obama's real-life campaign. "Given how the cynics operate, the best optics are his wife, his children and his supporters."
