More than one person has wanted to call Barack Obama a 'smart alec', and now British police will get the chance to do so without getting reprimanded.

Looking forward to 2012 where Chalaque gets Shellacked.
Yeah, but jackass would have worked just as well.
“Mildly offensive” is so much nicer than my codewords for him.

They should call him “Zelig”. It doesn’t matter what country he is in — he claims to be one of them.
You know it really translates to “Smart Ass!”
‘The Hindi code name, which translated into “smart alec” or “cheeky, crafty and cunning” was “randomly generated by computer”, the Daily Mail reported, quoting Sunday Times police sources.”
God works in mysterious ways.
Otay!
hahahahahhahahah!!!!!!! PERFECT!!
Seems a bit odd that the codename used “for security purposes” would be disclosed before the visit.
"Maybe we need a moat. A moat with alligators in it."
No, we need a president. A president with brains in his head.
