"Renegade" and "Renaissance" replace "Trailblazer" and "Tempo" in the "White House"

President-Elect Barack Obama - 'Renegade' - had a say in choosing the code name that his guards use when they are whispering into their microphones.

And in keeping with the tradition of having all family members' code names start with the same letter, future first lady Michelle Obama is 'Renaissance', and daughters Sasha and Malia are known as 'Rosebud' and 'Radiance'.



Bonus: John McCain, the four-term senator from Arizona who was Mr Obama's Republican presidential rival, was 'Phoenix'. His fashion-conscious wife, Cindy, was 'Parasol'.

Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor who was McCain's running mate, was 'Denali', named for the national park in her home state and the natural gas pipeline project that she promotes. Her husband, Todd, the North Slope oil worker, was 'Driller'.
