The self-described "mom-in-chief" has some thoughts about Justin Bieber's growing pains.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
While a WhiteHouse.gov petition to deport Justin Bieber awaits the administration's official response, first lady Michelle Obama has her own thoughts about the 19-year-old Canadian's string of bad behavior.
Asked what she would do if she were Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette, Obama said she would keep close to her son.
“I would pull him close,” Obama told Univision. “I don’t know if it would be advice as much as action. I would be very present in his life right now. And I would be probably with him a good chunk of the time, just there to talk, to figure out what’s going on in his head, to figure out who’s in his life and who’s not, you know.”
“I found that to be the case with my kids,” she said of Malia and Sasha. “They just want you near, you know -- they want that advice from a parent. They want to see you on a daily basis, you know, because the thing is he’s still a kid. He’s still growing up. So, I would pull him close.”
Bieber was arrested twice last month, on Jan. 23 for drunk driving and drag racing in Miami and on Jan. 29 for the alleged assault of a limousine driver.
She would kick his ass. Think : hottie Danish PM at the Mandela funeral.
And she would be right.
Did Bieber’s mother ever ask her for advice? If not, ....
America has some advice for the 1st whatever!Get lost!
She is soooooo ignorant.
Fat chance he will listen to or abide by his mother’s rules, especially with a nutbar father flying around the continent smoking dope with him.
Fact is, they are all legally adults and none of them has to listen to anyone, except the law.
Oh, Michelle, butt out. You’ve got enough to handle with your own doper husband. Keep him close.
What IDIOT would even ask Michelle Obama what she thinks about some teeny-bopper singer? And what WORSE IDIOT cares?!?! Good GRIEF!!!
The Mom is not the problem here — it’s the Dad, Jeremy Bieber.
By all accounts, the mom was a good mom. However, she was ill-equipped to teach him how to handle worldwide fame, gobs of female temptation, and an unlimited bank account.

Because she was a single mom. She had a lot on her plate. She had to choose her battles. She worked and gave him a home, put him through school and did the best she could under the circumstances. She is a female and he is a male. His dad didn't show up back in his life until he started getting famous. Pre-teen boys need the guidance and direction of the male figure in their lives. It's called co-parenting, raising a child in unison. Patti Mallette (Justin's mom) did it all by herself. She certainly didn't know that her son would become this famous after posting some homemade YouTube videos.
Give him a mommie hug!
"Hey Mooch...didn't work with your little gay guy. He is still at large."

Eat Jack Links Jerky?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
With all due respect, there are limits to what mothers can do. What Justin Bieber has become is a result of not having a dad. A mom can't fix that, and even if a real dad somehow showed up right now, it would do a lot of good. He's 19 - he's a man, contrary to Mooch's opinion. And judging by his behavior, what he "needs" is to get his ass kicked. Repeatedly. Until it dawns on him that he is not immortal, he is not a child, he will not be allowed to BE a child, and that there is more pain where that came from if he insists on BEING a child.
But like I said, he's 19. It's way too late for a lot of that to take effect. He's treated like a god, and his money and fame insulate him. I predict drugs and an early death. Because he's not, in fact, immortal - but he's defying the things that kill a person. And there's just not much of a future in that.
Keep your nose out of others business wookie.
