I liked the President's response. The Presidential Helo program seems ridiculous: I don't see why we can't use the VH-60s to replace the UH-3s. I'm not a 100% certain but I've heard they're buying 30 EH-101s to replace 3 UH-3s .
From what I can find from open sources there are 11 VH-3D's and 8 VH-60N's, they are planning to buy 28 VH-71's (I think 5 relatively 'green' aircraft first and 23 'missionized' aircraft later). With the added security concerns about continuity of government some of the extra ones (only 4 when you get down to it) are probably to ensure they can transport not only the President but some of his possible successors too.
