He actually was inaugurated on the 20th-- he took the oath of office in a small private ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House; Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath. But since the 20th fell on a Sunday in 2013, there was a second ceremony, open to the public, on Monday.

The date of the presidential inauguration was moved to January 20th under the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, if January 20th falls on a Sunday, the public ceremony is held on January 21st out of respect for the Christian Sabbath. As January 20, 2013, when Obama was inaugurated for his second term, fell on a Sunday, the public ceremony took place on January 21st.
