“The writ of quo warranto must be brought within the District of Columbia because President Obama holds office within that district.”

Doesn’t he hold office in ALL districts - and therefore can’t the writ be brought in ANY district?

No, Congress has the Constitutional power, and Congress delegated this power (by way of the quo warranto statute) to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
