Yes. If the President is running for re-election and loses to the candidate from the other party, both names appear on the same ballot. The winner becomes the president-elect and the President is still the President, until January 20. This happened most recently in November, 1992, when Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush.
James Garfield
No, he did not. That was Keith Ellison, a US Representative from the state of Minnesota - elected in 2006. He made news by choosing the Koran over the Bible for his swearing in. But Barack Obama is a Christian, and when he was sworn in as president, he used the famous Lincoln Bible during the ceremony.

He used the same bible that Lincoln used.
President Obama has never made fun of the Bible; this is an internet myth, spread by his political opponents, and by conservative Christians who disagree with his views. As a moderate, Mr. Obama may not interpret every verse the same way that a conservative would, but that does not mean he has ever made fun of the Bible, nor has he made fun of anyone's religion.
