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.

Its as simple as he thinks hes entitled to anything he wants. He loves the power and he doesn’t give a damn about “the people”. Now what are we gonna do about it?
I don't recall hearing that a carrier battlegroup accompanied Nixon to China.
We all need to call and write to every radio show , representative and news paper. EVERYONE needs to know this . I’m sure the MSM won’t mention a word . We need to force this info. Glen Beck has former CIA guy on talking about this .
If it’s this expensive he has no business going there.
“34 warships sent from US for Obama visit”
That’s just to carry his ego.
I don’t either, but I just wondered what was usually sent when a President went on these visits. It seems like a colossal waste of money.
“Or it could be no more than his giant ego at work.”
My vote goes for this option.
But the first one would make a good movie.
I just checked CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC websites and there is no mention of this trip and the expense anywhere. Why is this only being reported overseas?? Smells rotten.
Listening right now...
I was thinking the same thing. Wonder if congress can defund or put a ceiling on his activities.
Requesting a fact cost sheet to be posted that can be copied and emailed. This needs to go viral!
You’ve encapsulated all of my concerns in your post. I agree, I mean, WTF??? Why are 3,000 people going with him? I mean, are 3,000 people REALLY needing to tag along on this trip? Is this another egomaniac vacation?
And over 30 war ships? Who the hell needs that kind of entourage?
Doesnt anyone get an uneasy feeling about all this, any alarm bells going off in anyones head. Doesnt seem like your typical diplomatic visit, does it? Sounds like a government in exile

Yes. But I do not hasten to attribute any rational reason to what he does. He is delusional hubris stuffed into a straw.
On the other hand, some massive attack or widespread incidents of terrorism in the United States that coincided with this comic opera excess would not particularly surprise me.
Looks like Queen MooseHell's escort as she make her daily shopping trip to the market for some organic arugula.
YES I have a very bad feeling about this and it became worse when I heard that a change in plans, at MOOchelle’s request, resulted in the children being included. I wonder if Jarrett and Asselrod are going along? I’d love to see the whole list. Meanwhile, I pray.
I’d think we’d all be interested in a summary...
Now up on Drudge - top story. Beck shined light on this.
Can you update those who can't listen right now. Thanks.
And another thing... is there a U.S. embassy in that town? If so, "O" should have stayed there with all those minions finding their own place(s) to stay.
