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.

Friggen coward
Sounds almost as if he intends to fire off come weapons ... I just hope the targets are not in India or the USA.
Dear Lord, Dear Lord.
This ridiculous trip just a few days after an election that was meant to show him how out of touch he is with us fools the citizens?
I am, for the first time in a long time, just speechless.
This is not part of the $200Mn a day price tag either.
shoot, here and damn near every where else this will be old news by tomorrow, nothing done about it
kind of like all the democrats the frauded so many elections, Harry Reid comes to mind,, “ well she conceeded “. does that mean harry didn’t break any laws?
I hope whatever measures needed to keep him safe are done because the prospect of president Biden scares me even more.
Can we just call it Bombay again?
What an ego. Narcism on display for the whole world to see, and despise.
Consider, if he is in such danger that he needs 34 Warships - why is he exposing himself to this danger? There is no reason to place the Office of the President to a risk, that justifies 34 Battleships.
If he’s wanting yet another taxpayer financed vacation - $2 Billion of our taxpayer dollars should be an impeachable offense. And this sounds like nothing more than “I wanna go see the Festival of Lights in India - so let’s go and let’s look as important as we can”.
The Presidency is all about Jughead, and his ego is just getting bigger.
Reminiscent of the Emperor Caligula ordering his legions to attack the ocean in order to show Neptune a thing or two.
What, not the entire naval fleet? That $200million per day just went up a great deal higher.
The Hindus, the oldest enemy of the Muslims.
Just saying...
What is he planning to do. Attack the U.S. after he’s safely bunkered away?
or is he expecting something really terrible to happen here in the US that’s why he is getting out of here and taking 3000 people with him-
I think he is just afraid of some muslim getting whacked by a handful of sikhs. They know one when they hear he is coming!
And they remember

A show of power maybe? I heard one time that the best thing a powerful country could do is not to show it’s power. It should be evident.
Maybe he’s going to give India our ships.
Why take battleships when he’s already taking the old Battle Axe.
Actually he is escaping to India to get away from Impeachment. He is going to sell the Warships, Air Force One, and the Choppers to add to his stash and seek asylum.
