First Family’s Secret Service Code Names
Posted by dandriffill in Posts on December 7, 2008
The Secret Service traditionally has given private names to those whose lives they protect. The monikers are a throwback to a time when electronic communications were not encrypted, and they no longer serve a security function. Still, they give an occasional peek at the players’ personalities, in addition to serving as great trivia questions. Here is a little list of past and present code names.
Barack Obama – Renegade Michelle Obama – Renaissance
Malia Obama – Radiance Sasha Obama – Rosebud
Joe Biden – Celtic Jill Biden – Capri
George W. Bush – Tumbler Laura Bush – Tempo
Bill Clinton – Eagle Hillary Clinton – Evergreen Chelsea Clinton – Energy
George HW Bush – Timberwolf Barbara Bush – Tranquility
Jimmy Carter – Deacon Rosalynn Carter – Dancer
Ronald Reagan – Rawhide Nancy Reagan – Rainbow
Gerald Ford – Passkey Betty Ford – Pinafore
Richard Nixon – Searchlight Pat Nixon – Starlight
Lyndon B. Johnson – Volunteer Lady Bird Johnson – Victoria
John F. Kennedy – Lancer Jacqueline Kennedy – Lace
