Did you see the news today? They said at 12 noon Barry became President anyway even if he had not taken the oath of office yet.

Yes, but he can't execute the office until taking the oath.

Article II, Section 1:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: — "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
