Secret Service releases code names for Obama & Biden families

    The Secret Service has released the code names for the Obama and Biden families.  The White House Military Office dubbed President-elect Barack Obama “Renegade,“ while his wife, Michelle Obama, is “Renaissance.“

    Their children, Malia and Sasha, were named “Radiance” and “Rosebud.“

    Vice President-elect Joe Biden was given the name “Celtic.“  His wife, Jill, was nicknamed “Capri.“

    A spokesperson said the names aren’t as important as they once were becuase of more sophisticated communications equipment that’s more difficult to eavesdrop.
