His new home is a 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms, 6 levels, 18 acre property known as the White House - the official residence of the President of the United States of America. It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. Formerly known as the "President's House", and first occupied by President and Mrs. John Adams, President Theodore Roosevelt changed its name to "The White House." The White House has many important rooms including the Blue Room, the Red Room, the the Oval Office and the East Room.
His new ride, a custom made Cadillac bullet-proof and air-tight seal-able limousine, for number 44! The General Motors custom armored Cadillac limousine doors are about 8 inches thick. The vehicle’s armor is reportedly 5 inches thick and it has tall run flat tires, thick bulletproof glass, and an entirely sealed-off interior to prevent a chemical attack from permeating the cabin. The limousine weighs about 10,000 pounds. Inside the limousine is a hand-stitched leather encasing the armed passenger vehicle on the planet.

His chopper, a Marine One!Marine One is the call sign of any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States; usually operated by the HMX-1 "Nighthawks" squadron. The first use of helicopters for presidential transport was in 1957 by Dwight D. Eisenhower. Marine One is sometimes the preferred alternative to motorcades, due to expenses and logistics; and the controlled environment of a helicopter transport adds greatly to the safety of the president.
More than 800 Marines supervise the operation of the Marine One fleet, which is based in Quantico, Virginia, but is more often seen in action on the South Lawn of the White House or at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Wherever Marine One flies, it is met on the ground by at least one Marine in full dress uniform (most often two with one acting as an armed guard). For security purposes, Marine One always flies in groups of identical helicopters, sometimes as many as five. One helicopter carries the president, while the others serve as decoys for would-be assassins on the ground. Upon take-off these helicopters begin to shift in formation (sometimes referred to as a presidential shell game) regularly to keep the location of the president secure. Television broadcasters are prohibited from airing live footage of Marine One while it is in the air over the White House. Also, Marine One reportedly is equipped with standard military anti-missile countermeasures such as flares to counter heat-seeking missiles and chaff to counter radar-guided missiles. For added security of Marine One, every member of HMX-1 is required to pass a Yankee White background check before touching any of the helicopters used for presidential travel. Marine One is always transported (as is the president's limousine) wherever the president travels, both within the United States as well as overseas. The helicopters in the fleet will soon be replaced at an average of $400 million per helicopter. 
His aircraft, a Boeing 747 called Air-Force One - a Boeing 747-200B that has been modified to meet presidential requirements. The aircraft is known by the radio call sign Air Force One, when the president is aboard.
In 1962, Boeing introduced U.S. presidents to modern jet transportation with the introduction of the Boeing model 707-320B. In all, seven presidents were served by the 707-320B.
Today, the chief executive flies aboard a specially configured 747-200B, the newest and largest presidential airplane. Its capabilities include longer range for presidential travel, aerial refueling, self-sufficiency at airports around the world. Air-Force One also known as the "Flying Oval Office" has 4,000 square feet of interior floor space; which provides accommodations for a conference/dining room, living quarters for the president and the first lady, an office area for senior staff members, another office that converts into a medical facility when necessary, work and rest areas for the presidential staff, media representatives and Air Force crews, two galleys that can provide 100 meals at one sitting, multi-frequency radios for air-to-air, air-to-ground and satellite communications. Today's Air Force One is equipped with both secure and unsecured phone and computer communications systems, enabling the president to perform duties while in the air in the event of an attack on the United States as shown on September 11, 2001. His personal staff, number in the thousands with Rahm Emanuel as the Chief of Staff!
And we are talking about the American soon to be inaugurated President, 44th, Barack Obama. As for the costs of providing and maintaining these state of the art comforts, please do not ask Icheoku! An American President deserves all that he can get to enable him carry out his onerous task, presiding over America and by extension, the entire world. Welcome to the new life that awaits, President-elect Barack Obama starting on Tuesday, January 20, 2009!
