The not-so-secret code names used by the US Secret Service for the president-elect and his family have been published.
Barack Obama is called Renegade, while his wife Michelle is Renaissance, and their daughters Rosebud and Radiance.
They will replace Trailblazer (President George W Bush) and his wife Tempo in the White House on 20 January.
The names are chosen to be easily pronounced and understood when agents use radio communications.
A list of names starting with R was drawn up by the White House Communications Agency, a branch of the military that serves the White House and Secret Service.

Messiah and Panther would be more appropriate.
I sorta prefer Pantload and Piranha.
“R” names, uhhhh . . . how about Racist for the tall guy.
Rosebud? :)
I suggested Dumbo and Cheetah.
I prefer Karl and Karla.
Muslimhim and Muslimher
That’s funny. They weren’t at all the ones I’d come up with.
