Uh...Obama did not quit his job as U.S. Senator nor did he quit "being a

Actually, Obama resigned early .... November 17th, I think. The last
senator to do so was JFK.
Obama didn't want to remain in his Senate seat during his lame duck period.

I still contend that if a politician has enough confidence in their
ability to be elected for a higher office, they should immediately
resign so they can focus their efforts and not abandon their constituents.
