Chris Wallace on FOX News said after the oath was botched that b/c it had been Obama was not president. I'm not sure what other news outlets shared his POV but better safe than sorry.

CNN definitely did not share that POV because they announced at exactly 12pm that Barack Obama was officially president even though he hadn't been sworn in yet (they hadn't even made the first attempt at that time).

I was watching MSNBC and other than laughing at the botched oath they didn't really talk about it. I read on Daily Kos about Chris Wallace.

I was watching MSNBC's coverage the morning of and right at 12 Noon ET, and the announcer (can't remember if it was Olbermann or Brokaw) said that Barack Obama officially takes office - per the 20th Amendment. President Obama didn't take the Oath until 4 minutes later.

I heard the same thing and I was flipping channels between MSNBC & CNN...

I saw a clip of what Chris Wallace said on the Countdown Olbermann show where he became one of the Worsts Persons...

The sly Fox, cyclops
We locked in an idiot box
The video slots broadcast
The Waco Dividian plots
They own YouTube, MySpace
When this ignorant shit going to stop?
They monopolizing news
Your views
And the channel you choose
Propaganda, visual cancer
The eye in the sky, number 5 on the dial
Secret agenda, frequency antenna
Dr. Mindbender
Remote control soul
Controller
Your brain holder
Slave culture, game's over
What's a fox characteristic?
Slick shit, sensin', misinformation
Pimp the station, over-stimulation
Reception, deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells lies and foxtrots
So, I don't know what's real (what's real)


Sly Fox - Nas

...let's see who picks this up...

I heard this too actually. But my American Politics teacher said that Fox News (as usual) was off-base because in the 20th (I hope it's the 20th...) amendment it states something about the new president is officially in office on January 20th at 12:00pm. So regardless of oaths, stumbles, etc. Obama still wins. Yeah.
