Update: my Aunt informed me that there was a private swearing in at precisely 12:00. She claims the 12:03 oath was just for the TV. She sourced this to an anonymous TV talking head on a channel she doesn't recall. Anyone able to confirm/deny this?

your aunt is wrong. logistical impossibility. that, however, does not preclude the possibility that obama was indeed sworn in earlier in the day or more likely the night before.

Then who was that on the dais at precisely 12:00 who looked like Obama?
