Renaissance
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Michelle Obama’s Secret Service code name is Renaissance. Very cool.
Her husband’s codename is Renegade, and the kids are Radiance and Rosebud. More codenames can be found here and even more here.
At first, I thought it was odd that they would give all of the family members names that start with the same letter. Wouldn’t that be confusing? Not to keep dwelling on The West Wing, but Eagle and Bookbag didn’t start with the same letter. But looking over these lists, it looks like they do it with every administration. Both Bush families have code names that start with T, probably because W’s name was a holdover from his father’s administration.
It makes you think of what you’d want your Secret Service code name to be. I know what I’d want mine to be, if Michelle Obama didn’t already have it.
