Obama Is Given a Code Name by the Secret Service

Sen. Barack Obama has a new tag: "Renegade."

That's what Secret Service agents are calling the Illinois Democrat, in the time-honored tradition of giving "secret" code names to presidential candidates and other protected dignitaries. As is custom, the Obama moniker reflects something of the man himself (though he might prefer "progressive" or "independent").

Why are they calling Obama a "Renegade"?

Merriam Webster defines renegade as
1) A deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another
2) An individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior
What faith has he deserted? What allegiances have been broken? Who has he turned his back on? And what laws has been broken? This sounds like a tactic to distract and cause confusion of the weak minded.
