The Secret Service takes a lot of risks for the first family. So it's only fair that the agency gets the honor of coming up with code names for the president-elect and his family. Various sources within the Buzz recently revealed the not-so-secret nicknames.
Mr. Obama will be known as "Renegade" (move over, Lorenzo Lamas). Michelle, a woman of many talents, will be referred to as "Renaissance." Malia Obama's name will be "Radiance," while little sister Sasha's will be "Rosebud."
And what of the Bidens? We were hoping the Secret Service would stick to the "R" theme and dub Joe "Rogaine." Alas, his name will be "Celtic." His wife Jill will be "Capri." A bit boring, but hey, nobody asked us for our opinion.
Too bad, because while we don't have the power to assign nicknames to the world's most powerful family, we can dig up the most popular nicknames in Search. Here they are below for your enjoyment. And if you have your own ideas for code names for the future first family, chime in below. Buzz Log, over and out.

Biden == Plugs.
I prefer “Foreign Usurper.”
SHOULD HAVE BEEN RASCAL OR RAT !
That SOB ( Obama) stole my Free Republic ID!!!!
Larry Sinclair’s code name, “Backup”
Renege=to go back on a promise.
Renegade=person that goes back on a promise. (maddie10 definition)
Webster: an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior
LOL The SS sure named Obama well.
R is for Racist...
Way back when, I heard that JFK was “Jack the zipper.” But not officially, I’m sure.
That’s insult to injury.
Haha, I like your’s better as well, LOL.
Renege is a much better name.
Hopefuly he won't wind up with mine.
Silly me, I thought the code names were supposed to be secret.
renegade
1583, "apostate," probably (with change of suffix) from Sp. renegado, originally "Christian turned Muslim," from M.L. renegatus, prop. pp. of renegare "deny" (see renege). General sense of "turncoat" is from 1665. The form renegate, directly from M.L., is attested in Eng. from c.1375.
Members of the same family always have a name starting with the same letter, whether it is the President’s family, the Vice President’s, or a visiting dignitary. They would never use the same letter for Biden’s family.
"Big Ass" for Michelle.
"Plugs" is good for Biden.
Al Gore’s was Saw Horse.
My personal choice (albeit it will be considered the all-encompassing “code word” for racist) for DEAR LEADER and MADADM, would be Dumbo and Olive Oil.
