Why would the President of the United States let “Renegade” be his secret service code name unless he thought it was a good fit? Synonyms are traitor, deserter, betrayer, dissenter, defector, outlaw, and rebel. Michelle Obama’s code name is “Renaissance.” Synonyms are resurgence, rebirth, and reawakening.
The article below says a computer chooses the code names, but if they don't like the chosen name they can change it. So, obviously "Renegade" was just fine with him. It goes along with his promise to “fundamentally change America,” and his remark that the Constitution was not a static document, but rather a living one, that must be read in the context of an ever-changing world, and that it "reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.”
Some people will probably post remarks that this means nothing. If you do, please clarify whether or not YOU would want to be known by this name if you were the president. Please don't say you would just because you plan to vote for Obama.
This has got to be one of the stupidest attacks I have ever seen leveled at Obama... and that's saying A LOT. The Renegades was what my platoon in Basic Training was referred to as. Were we named that because we were some super secret anti-American Communist outfit. Dumb, dumb, dumb. In American parlance, being a renegade, or rebel, or maverick (remember that one?) is a good thing -- probably has to do with our revolutionary roots.

Looking at the smattering of hysterical (as in 'mass delirium') right-wing threads all focused on petty, insignificant, peripheral nonsense, it's pretty clear to me that the party of the perpetually paranoid is in full-on, prep-the-padded-cell FREAK OUT mode.
I WAY overestimated the Obama crowd. You can't even give rational answers much less follow instructions of the OP. It makes no sense for a president to be nicknamed a traitor and be ok with it, and anyone with sufficient common sense knows this. And maverick is not a synonym for renegade. Good try.
Your posts are an embarrassment to the South. Didn't think that was possible, yet here it is.
if i was President of the United States, I wouldn't give a damn what the Secret Service chose as my code name.
And, most probably, that code name changes frequently. Next week, the code name will be a different word.
This is so trivial it's not worth of discussion, even here.
It is not common for the code name to change.
