According to chicagotribune.com:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... ory?page=1

"The Secret Service traditionally has given pithy, 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..."

BTW, Clinton's codename was Eagle and not Elvis! hahaha!

Biden's codename is Celtic. I dont know if that's "C" or the "S" pronunciation.  I always say the Boston Keltics instead of Seltics, just out of habit. Biden's wife is Capri.  Does anbody know what Bush's codename is?  If I remember correctly, Clinton's codename was Elvis.   

One blessing for not having Senator McCain elected President is that his own personal code name for Cindy will not be used.

I may be right.  I may be wrong.  But there is a lot of gray area in-between.

Here's a clip of Obama speaking at a roast of Rahm Emmanuel in 2005.  Pretty funny.

Anyone trying to go to the Inauguration?  Those tickets are some of the most coveted things right now...and I got one!  My sister and boyfriend both work in the senate so I am set.  Would consider renting out my apartment...but I want to be here.  Some people are planning to rent their townhouses etc for that week for astronomical prices (and people are willing to pay).  They are expecting something like a million and a half people to show up.   :shock:

Nah, if it was successful, then the picture would no longer exist, making his bid that much less successful!

i don't know about that. i think you can take things back with you without it disappearing. remember that movie where those navy guys ended up in 1941 flying F-14's against zeros. they did manage to eek out a win in that skirmish. and don't forget about back to the future.

having had lots of memorable moments while obama was actually here in KC, i don't think i want the hassle. i know lots of people who shouted "road trip!" on election night, but i'm sure they'll reconsider when the realize how far away it is.

congrats on scoring a ticket!

I will defer to the standard in time travel, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but in Back to the Future, IIRC, his picture was fading out when it looked like he wouldn't be born.

Eric Holder will be the first African-American Attorney General in US history.

Reports: Eric Holder tabbed for AG

Holder, 57, has been a judge and a top federal prosecutor in Washington as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and deputy attorney general, the Post said. Most recently he has been a partner in the law firm of Covington and Burling, and played an active role as an adviser in the Obama presidential campaign.

Yeah because Zawahiri is clearly the ultimate decider of universal muslim ideology.  &&&&&

Does that mean we can attribute the teachings of some grand wizard of the klan to christianity as a whole?
