Secret Service Gives Obamas Their Code Names @ 4:04 pm by Walter Alarkon
Following in the tradition of First Families before them, the Obamas will have code names to be used by the Secret Service, reports the Tribune newspapers.
President-elect Barack Obama and soon-to-be-First Lady Michelle Obama will go by Renegade and Renaissance, respectively (just as they had during the election). Their oldest daughter, Malia Obama, 10, will go by Radiance, while younger sister Sasha, 7, will go by Rosebud.

Are you sure it wasn’t “Red Brigades” and “Repulsive”?

How long do you think those names will be used, now that they’re out in cyberspace?

Anybody else remember that piece of TV trivia? It immediately popped into my head.
Then there’s Citizen Kane’s use of the word.
Isn’t it some sort of security leak to let this sort of into into the public domain?

Well, they are obviously not secret. Which raises the question, why use codenames at all, if you don't keep them secret?

Should have been “king” and “queen”. You know they will be a royal pain in the ass.

I think they should have gone with “Fred” and “Aunt Esther.”

My, my, aren’t those Secret Service code names stylish. And they’re just the absolute perfect fit for our return to Camelot! /s
Since when did “secret” code names become a highly public exercise in PR? What’s the point of giving them, if they’re known? Might as well call them by their legal names. Oh, wait, what is Barack Obama’s legal name again?

an apostate from a religious faith.I don't think that needs any further comment, does it?
