A quick search of the internet revels that Barack Obama is the first to receive a negative Secret Service code name.
"Renegade"
1. traitor: somebody who abandons previously held beliefs or loyalties
Maybe the White House Communications Agency which selects the names got advice from Sarah Palin's speech writers.

Please share the "source" of this story. White House Communications Agency is a military unit, and they have denied, on the record, that they come up with these names.

It appears someone in the US Secret Service comes up with the names, and they are now just a tradition since the communications are most-likely secure.

I seriously doubt the folks who support white house communications are allowed to nickname the POTUS, his family and the VP.

So the President-elect is dumb and lazy. Do you really think you could get elected to anything? Really, look at yourself in the mirror. Of course we don't know who you are but you'll know--run for local city commission, and I bet you wouldn't be smart enough to get more than 15% of the vote in a local race. You're giving whites a bad name, and Florida a bad name, but heres one white that is proud to have stood with my President to be-Barack Obama.

Why have Secret Service codenames if they are shared with the public? What's next, a list of CIA operatives? What a joke!
