If that was true everybody would know about it, especially astronomers who would have to throw out all their charts. Such a shift would be cause significant changes in weather patterns and be a greater disaster than any earthquake.

Its not true.

I heard this being said on a program about the tsanami that the earth did move, but did it move or did it wobble so it is still in the same position??

According to their latest calculations, the December 26 earthquake shifted the earth's "mean North Pole" by about 2.5 centimetres in the direction of 145° East Longitude, more or less toward Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
