The massive group will be transported by 40 jumbo jets that were generously provided by the American taxpayers without their consent.
Mr. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are set to arrive in the city on Saturday and will stay the night in the presidential suite of Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel.
In addition to the 3,000 personnel that will accompany the President there will be an equal number that have already flown in and out of the city to prepare for the visit. Among those accompanying the President will be 200 of his personal staff and about 150 journalists.

Forty aircraft – including the Air Force One military plane – and six heavily armored cars will follow the president around the country. The huge security operation comes days after a suspected bomb was found on a cargo plane at East Midlands Airport.
The entourage will be the biggest ever in terms of logistics and manpower for any US president.
The president himself will be ferried around in a black Cadillac – dubbed ‘Barack Mobile’ – which has its own built in communications centre – to enable President Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command. President Obama will visit the historic Taj Mahal with wife Michelle and their two children.

The secret service will set up two command posts in Delhi and Mumbai which will act as the communication nerve centers. These centers will keep an eye on each movement by the president with real time satellite monitoring.
A large contingent of decorated elephants have been leased to transport the President and his immediate group from the airport to the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, in a grand parade. But they will only be able to carry around 500 people so the other 2500 will be forced to use conventional limousines.
First Lady Michelle Obama expressed her sincere thanks to the American people for making these special events possible for them.
"There was just no way we could afford lavish and opulent
vacations like these on Baracks salary when he worked as a lawyer for ACORN. This will be a wonderful educational experience for Malia and Sasha."
In an effort to save money for the taxpayers, President Obama is having Vice President Biden, Mr. Biden's wife, and their staff stay at the Mumbai Motel 6, which is conveniently located just 14 miles from his own lodgings at theTaj Mahal Hotel.
"Vice President Biden's accomodations won't cost the taxpayers one cent, " President Obama told us, "I had enough reward points saved up from our vacation in Spain."
