First Family Given Code Names (Secret Service)

ChiTrib ^ | 11/9/08 | Chicargo Tribune

[GRRRRR]

The Secret Service traditionally has given pithy, private names to those whose lives they protect. The monikers are a throwback to a time when electronic communications were not encrypted, and they no longer serve a security function. Still, they give an occasional peek at the players' personalities, in addition to serving as great trivia questions.

President-elect Barack Obama: Renegade

Michelle Obama: Renaissance

[GRRRRR]

Hmmmm, I'm sure we can come up with much better names than this for Mr. and Mrs. Obama...

[Mr. Silverback]

All I know is Bill and Hill’s code names must have begun with “H”, because each family has code names starting with the same letter and Roger Clinton’s was “Headache.”
