On January 20th, Barack Obama will be sworn in as president. As is tradition, the Chief Justice of the US will administer the oath of office. Interesting tidbit: "Barack Obama will be the first president sworn in by a chief justice -- John Roberts Jr. -- whose nomination he opposed."
As to who will swear in Joe Biden as VP, that tradition has more variation, but Justice Stevens Will Swear In Biden as Vice President. Though it seems Justice Alito holds a grudge from the confirmation hearings.
