New Delhi: The White House will, of course, stay in Washington but the heart of the famous building will move to India when President Barack Obama lands in Mumbai on Saturday.
Communications set-up, nuclear button, a fleet of limousines and majority of the White House staff will be in India accompanying the President on this three-day visit that will cover Mumbai and Delhi.
He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. The measure has been taken as Mumbai attack in 2008 took place from the sea.

$2B, not $1B.
$200M x 10 days = $2B
Whether that includes the cost of the naval sortie is still a question.
What is that, about 15% of all our naval force? WTF?
Is he going to threaten a naval bombardment if the Indians don’t see it his way?
Maybe Obama’s doing a marxist version of ‘Going Galt’.....LOL!
All the pencil pusher government looters, the crony capitalists, union thugs and chicago buddies going to wait out the destruction of America in ‘Mumbia Gulch’....LOL.
“Is he going to threaten a naval bombardment if the Indians dont see it his way?”
My bet is on him threatening to nuke America while he is there, if WE don’t see it his way....LOL!
[A life ending event? ]
Shoot, he could do that quietly in the privacy of the White House, lol. - if you meant him.
If you meant aimed at him, I do remember reading recently that Obama believed the White House is a major target for the terrorists. Someone joked that maybe that’s why he takes so many vacations.
And then on into conspiracy, the man scares me, he’s not right and [if I knew the Military would go along with him] I could see him doing harm to our country!
After all, the election just put a dent in his agenda and all his socialistic plans and he still reminds me of a Manchurian Candidate.
I was hoping he would get hit by a coconut but they are removing all coconuts in India for his trip.
Woulda been nice.
I am listening to Beck today because he’s on the Fed devaluing the dollar - he’s just discussing The Trip and wondering wth is the reason for it...
so O can look like a big shot..
34 ships?. That many are needed to transport the wookie’s clothes and shoes?
Or, on the other hand, while the cat's away, the mice will play. : )
He only has 2 years left to be the king, so he’s going to make the most of it. This is beyond sickening.
Michelle Bachmann is on the radio - Said Obama is flying his personal chief to India

Other than Hillary and Gates, who isn’t he taking???
Regardless of the $$$$$ and fleet count, this is one strange trip.
has there been any question by the press about these claims?
I couldn’t make it all the way through Cooper’s interview. He’s focused on getting a “gotcha” question about medicare and SS. She’s too smart to fall for that trap, but she (and all the other TEA party types) have to avoid interviews with the lamestream* media who are only out to smear you and discredit your positions.

B O go to meeting and save 2 billion
careful on this. They weren’t barred.
I looked into it - VERY hard to find any data - it was pre-internet - and really pre PC -
The best I could come up with was a warning not to go to Pakistan - but I’m pretty sure it would require a Visa.
What I do know is - it would be highly irregular.
I have a copy of the travel advisory somewhere inmy computer - it most definitly was not barred - but I think some vocabulary around this suffers from “post office” synome - words changing just a bot with each re-telling.
