no he did not He actually said "I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President of the United States faithfully, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me G-d." The Oath as written in the Constitution has the word "faithfully" coming between the words "will" and "execute". Chief Justice John Roberts was the one who made the mistake, and President Obama knew that something was wrong but still said the wrong version. See the video linked below. UPDATE President Obama re-took the Oath of Office at the White House on Wednesday, January 21st 2009 in front of members of the press. Cheif Justice Roberts administered the oath. This time President Obama did not have a Bible to swear on.

The oath took place for Obama in Washington D.C.
Chief Justice John Roberts gave the oath to President Barack Obama.
Chief Justice messed up so they redid it so nobody could say obama wasnt president.
Robert
Michelle Obama
Joe Biden would serve as the President and therefore take the oath of office in the case the Obama did not.
Chief Justice Roberts said the word "Faithfully" out of order. That is why President Obama paused for him to correct himself. Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama repeated the Oath of Office the day after the inauguration, to ensure there would be no challenges to Obama's right to office.
The oath of office is traditionally taken at noon.
