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 and nuclear button 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.

Sword of Damocles ping.
Maybe he will come back with a couple of footlockers full of sea shells for the treasury!
the prospect of President Biden doesn’t scare me at all.
He’s an idiot but he’s a real idiot and an American.
But the prospect of a martyred Obama scares me to death.
Really, what is the point of this wasteful tripe!
He is a paranoid narcissist with delusions of grandeur. He has absolutely no concern for the taxpayer who is funding his grandiose junkets. God help us.
Last time a foreign military contingent that large went to India, it was the British.
Imperialism!
Why does he need nuclear button?
He’s going to hand it over to the Pohk-ee-stahn-ees?
No way is this connected to the Obama World Tour........
Exactly what is the point of this trip anyway?
Sure enough, there are not 34 ships and there isnt an aircraft carrier supporting the presidents trip, said a defense official, who declined to provide any information on security measures for presidential trips.So the guy who declined ANY information says he's sure there will not be 34 warships. 35 maybe? I wouldn't say that the "rumors" are not true based upon this story.But the news editor for Press Trust of India said they stand by their story.
Foreign media always exaggerate about presidential trips, Gordon Johndroe, former deputy White House spokesman under President George W. Bush, said in an e-mail.. I am positive there will not be 34 warships involved in this trip.

So, if it’s not 34 ships, how many ships is it?
Notice the article doesn’t say “no ships”. It only says “no aircraft carrier”.
Looks like the infamous 3 AM phone call...with Zero holding the phone upside down.
Let's listen in on the conversation, shall we?...
Admiral: I'm having a hard time hearing this conversation, Mr. President...If you could please spell out how you want the fleet formed up one more time...
B0: Yes, Admiral, I want the carrier as the guide ship and all the other ships lined up to the Left of the carrier. That's the port side, Admiral...Portside! PAPA-OSCAR-ROMEO-TANGO-SIERRA-INDIA-DELTA-ECHO...Portside!....
The heart? Wrong piece of anatomy.
Don’t bother asking 84rules to reply.
