The Secret Service takes a lot of risks for the first family. So it’s only fair that the agency gets the honor of coming up with code names for the president-elect and his family. Various sources within the Buzz recently revealed the not-so-secret nicknames.
Mr. Obama will be known as “Renegade” (move over, Lorenzo Lamas). Michelle, a woman of many talents, will be referred to as “Renaissance.” Malia Obama’s name will be “Radiance,” while little sister Sasha’s will be “Rosebud.”
And what of the Bidens? We were hoping the Secret Service would stick to the “R” theme and dub Joe “Rogaine.” Alas, his name will be “Celtic.” His wife Jill will be “Capri.” A bit boring, but hey, nobody asked us for our opinion.
Maybe they should have looked it up first?

I think these would have been better for Obama:
Barry the Bug

Obomanation
BO
Obummer

How about his old old High School moniker, the “Obomber”
I’m still trying to figure out why you give them a code name and then tell the entire world what the code name is. Isn’t that sort of defeating the purpose of the “code” part?
Code name: Obamanomics
