4. Barack = Renegade. Michelle = Renaissance.
From wiki:

The 'secret' codenames change over time for security purposes, but are often publicly known. For security, codenames are generally picked from a list of such 'good' words, but avoiding the use of common words which could likely be intended to mean its normal definition.
