Madame Vengier Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah, I am a tad surprised that the code names are revealed. I guess code doesn't mean secret. Does anyone know what Bush and his family's code names are? I don't think I ever saw anything about that. Curious. Maybe Bush's is "Cowboy". [quote]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. [b]Mr. Obama will be known as "Renegade"[/b] (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."[/quote] Full article: [url="http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92024/?fp=1"]http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92024/?fp=1[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujo Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Ummm....is this something that should've been reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) I would love to know what Bush's was... [quote name='kujo' post='1699659' date='Nov 11 2008, 05:18 PM']Ummm....is this something that should've been reported?[/quote] They're not secret. Anyone within earshot of the Secret Service guys (which can easily be a whole lotta people) would know it. The point of the code names is clarity and convenience. Though "Barak" is pretty unique, "Michelle" is not. ETA: More [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Service_codenames"]here.[/url] Apparently Bush is "Tumbler" ETA2: and John Paul II was "Halo" Edited November 11, 2008 by philothea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame Vengier Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 A simple Google search leads right to Bush's code name: Timberwolf. His dad was Tumbler. Laura Bush is Tempo, and Barbara Bush was Tranquility. Bill Clinton was Eagle and Hillary was Evergreen. I think the best one was Reagan, who was Rawhide.
