Obama Documentary Being Planned By Young

CLEVELAND - The colossal ramifications of Barack Obama's electoral victory just keep pouring in.

On Tuesday, the Illinois senator became the first African-American elected to the U.S. presidency.

Filmmaker and entertainer Deante Young was just one of millions touched by the historical event. "There won't be a seismic shift in people's racial beliefs," said the controversial star. "but his undeniable appeal and legacy should and will be the strength of his convictions. Those are the things that enabled him to overcome the myriad of obstacles to achieve this remarkable feat."

Young was busy working on several projects, but took time out to address the victory. "Without question, it was a singular moment in history shared by us all. That is just one of the reasons that I am planning a documentary on the man."

Young wouldn't say exactly what his angle will be in the upcoming film, but did offer one tidbit. "Don't expect any documentary that I do about anything or anyone to be anything like anyone else's."

Talk about confusing.
