Obama represented the state of Illinois in the US Senate. He lived in Chicago, IL, and was elected to the state senate as someone from the district that includes Chicago. But in US federal politics (congress), a senator is from a state, rather than from a city.

Senator John Kennedy represents the entire state of Louisiana in the United States Senate, as senators are elected to represent their whole state rather than a specific district. He has served as a senator since 2017. Prior to his time in the Senate, he held various positions, including serving as the Louisiana State Treasurer.

A state Senator is an elected member of the legislature, or law-making body, of his or her state of residence.This is not to be confused with a US Senator, who is elected to represent his or her state of residence in the US Senate of the federal government, in Washington, DC.
Senators are elected by state, not by district. (Most representatives represent only a portion of a state, though the least populous states may have only one representative.) For the majority of representatives, then, they are representing a fairly small (in population, not necessarily size) group of people, who are most likely rather more homogeneous in their culture, economic status, and interests than the constituency of a senator.
The difference is that the senior Senator has been in office longer than the junior Senator.
The President of the United States can be in office for up to two four-year terms. Barack Obama is currently still in his first term and will be up for re-election in November 2012. Likely presidential candidates to run against him in 2012 will be Republican Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman and Senator Sarah Palin.
By most accounts, he had long been interested in politics, but had not necessarily planned to make it a career. He got a Bachelor's degree in Political Science in 1983 and a Law Degree in 1991, but gradually came to believe he could make more of a difference by entering politics than he felt he was making as an attorney and a professor. He first ran for office in Chicago in 1996 and was elected to the Illinois State Senate.
Representatives and Senators make up the Legislative branch of government in the United States. Representatives are elected by a vote of the people.Until 1913, Senators were appointed by the legislatures of the various States to represent the State. The 17th Amendment changed this to require that Senators be elected by a vote of the people. In the case of the death or disability of a Senator, the laws of the various states may call for a special election to be held to fill the vacancy, or may allow the Governor of the State to select a replacement temporary Senator to serve until the next election.
A senator can serve as many 6 year terms as he or she is elected.
