Obama the Renegade
Secret Service has released the code names for the future White House residents. However, they have not released how they select the names. I hope the decision process involves a camp fire, Jeff Probst, a couple of kegs, and a conk shell.
Why do they tell us the code names? If everyone knows the code it is not exactly a code. It's less code name and more nickname. If we all know Barack's code name is Renegade why not just call him Barack because we all know who they are talking about.
Here are the names
Barack Obama: Renegade. Pretty cool name, horrible Lorenzo Lamas TV show.
Michelle Obama: Renaissance.
Daughter Malia Obama: Radiant. The alliteration continues. All family member's names must start with the same letter
Daughter Sasha Obama: Rosebud. I am guessing one of the Secret Service members is a fan of Citizen Cane.
Joe Biden: Celtic.
Jill Biden: Capri. Has anyone ever seen her?
And the losers
John McCain: Phoenix. Naming him after the city where he lives! Way to mail it in guys! Whoever had the conk shell during this decision loses all future naming rights.
Cindy McCain: Parasol.
Sarah Palin: Denali.
Todd Palin: Driller.
Some of the best from the past
Ron Neesen: Clam Chowder (White House Press Secretary for Gerald Ford)
Walter Mondale: Dragon.
Pope John Paul II: Halo. Who knew he was a gamer?
Jimmy Carter: Lock Master.
Frank Sinatra: Napoleon.
Ronald Regan: Rawhide.
Barbara Bush: Snowbank.
Jesse Jackson: Thunder. I wonder if they also had a "Lightning," and if Jesse always arrived just a few seconds after him.
Prince Charles: Unicorn. Hahaha! Tells you how much they respect royalty.
