Obama chose Renegade as his SS code name, according to an annoying Time.com slideshow here:

Other articles cited by Wikipedia hint that the name was given him by the SS, but I don’t believe that. There are other stories of protected families choosing names, and Obama thought he was a god king; I recall his staff eagerly saying he was “ready to rule”.
