If there was no cabinet in place yet, and the Pres, VP, Speaker and Pro-Tempore are killed, then then any remaining members of the House would get together, elect the Speaker who would become an interim President until the House appoints someone to finish the term...
In the case of Obama --regardless if he takes the oath, the constitution gives him power at 12:00pm on January 20th 2008.
If Obama, Bryd, Pelosi and Biden were killed minutes after then Robert Gates would become President. He was kept away as the designated survivor and didn't need to be reconfirmed by the Senate.
