You might be right but there is at least some debate here. All the language I can find regarding "eligibility" to hold the office of the President is in the 12th Amendment. That's where it says you have to be 35 years old, you have to be a natural born citizen, etc. But it doesn't say anything in the 12th regarding how many terms you can have. Only in the 22nd Amendment does it say you can only be "elected" to POTUS twice. But it doesn't say anything about eligibility there. Obama still meets the eligibility requirements listed in the 12th (at least as much as he ever did) but he is now restricted from being "elected" again by the 25th.
edit: put another way, Obama is still eligible to be President but he is no longer eligible to be elected President.
edit 2: I think I left something out that more directly addresses your point: this from the 12th amendment is what you are referring to regarding restrictions on the VP: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." Obama is not restricted in the Constitution from the office of President. He is only restricted from being elected to it.
