Justin Bieber Forgives Barack Obama

Justin Bieber has forgiven Barack Obama for mispronouncing his name when they met at the White House last year - because the teen star would never expect the U.S. president to be a fan of his music.

The One Less Lonely Girl hitmaker has performed at the White House twice since he was first introduced to Obama, but admits their initial encounter was a little awkward when the politician got his name wrong.

Ever the professional, the 16 year old insists he wasn't annoyed by the slip; "He messed up my name, but I give it to him. He's not (the) age category I sing to. He's not 'one less lonely girl'."
