No, It's Tuesday. Because one odd day that you guys are considering in 2008 being leap year will be originated when the question was asked after February because that will add one more day in February. Since Question asked for January than there is no concept of Leap Year.
Hope, now it will be cleared.

If january12007 was Monday then January 1 2008 is Wednesday because 2008 is a leap year and has 2 odd days?

Since 2008 is a leap year we should not count 2 odd days because the year was not completed.
2007:1 odd day.
Monday + 1 odd day = Tuesday.
2007:1 odd day.
Monday + 1 odd day = Tuesday.

Two years cannot be leap years continously and the year which is divisible by 4 only is a leap year.

2008=1600+400+8
1600=0 odd day
400 = 0 odd days
8 =8/4=2 leap year + 6 ordinary year
=2*2=4 + 6*1 =10
10/7=3 (Wednesday)

Since 2008 is a leap year. It has 2 odd days, so if January 1, 2007 was Monday, then Jan. 1, 2008 should be 2 days beyond Monday, which is Wednesday.
