Renegade

The US secret service is reported to have assigned president-elect Barack Obama the code name 'Renegade'. Lorenzo Lamas stared in a TV series called 'Renegade'.



With this similarity I wanted to dig into this further and find out what else Lorenzo Lamas and Barack Obama have in common.

Obama- Born August 4, 1961
Lamas- Born January 20, 1958

Obama- Raised in Indonesia and Hawaii
Lamas- Raised in Pacific Palisades, California

Obama- During High School he used marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol but never got a unicorn tattoo.
Lamas- Has a tattoo of a woman riding a unicorn on upper back/shoulder. He has said it is a tribute to two of his father's favorite things (women and horses).

Obama- Graduate of Columbia College of Columbia University and Harvard Law School
Lamas- Graduated from Admiral Farragut Academy

Obama- Came from American and Kenyan decent.
Lamas- Mostly of South American heritage (father is Argentinian), but he is partially of Norwegian descent on his mother's side.

Obama- Plays Basketball
Lamas- Black belt of various martial arts: Karate, Kempo, Tae Kwon Do and Jujutsu.

At the end of all my research I found that it was a complete waste of time trying to find similarities. Besides that fact that their last names have 5 letters that is basically the ONLY thing they have in common.

If you're pissed at actually wasting 2 minutes to read this post think about the 30 minutes I spent trying to find something funny or common between them and then coming up with nothing.

Did I watch 'Renegade'? Yeah, you bet I did.Same formula as the 'A-Team' - fugitive on the run who helps the helpless (show was created by the same guy too). Now who's this Obama guy? What channel is he on?
