By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 2/7/14 5:00 PM EST
First lady Michelle Obamas advice to Justin Biebers mother is to spend lots of time with her son and get to know who hes hanging out with, the self-proclaimed mom-in-chief said in an interview released Friday.
I would pull him close, Obama said of the 19-year-old pop singer in an interview with Univision, when asked how shed guide the troubled pop star right now if she were his mom. I dont 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 whats going on in his head, to figure out whos in his life and whos not, you know.
She added that shes seen that her kids just want you near, you know, they want that advice from a parent. They want to see you on a daily basis and because Bieber is still a kid, hes still growing up, that lesson applies. The singer has faced multiple arrests, and reports of drug and alcohol use.
With Valentines Day approaching, the first lady was also asked about how she and the president keep romance in their relationship.
Yeah, well, you gotta get creative, she said. But, you know, our home is very private you know, the residence where we live. I mean, its not like weve got people standing around over us every second of the day. But, you know, the president has to be as creative as any man out there needs to be at this time. But this year well probably low-key it in the White House. I just had a wonderful big birthday party and I, you know, I think hes done his part to show me how much he loves me so hes off the hook this year.
Obama also discussed the presidents style, and said hes responsible for it. We may criticize, laugh, joke, push, cajole, but in the end, you know, hes the one thats making the decisions about his look, she said.
Turning to policy, the first lady pointed to continuing efforts to encourage some of the 10.2 million uninsured Latinos to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. It is so important now that health care is available at an affordable rate that folks in our communities access it, she said.
Obama was also asked about the constant scrutiny that she and her family face, and said that shes come to accept it.
