Obama’s sole accomplishment was giving a stirring speech at the last Democratic convention. That’s more than I’ve ever done, but it’s not quite to the level of Presidency.

Giving a good speech gave David Cameron the start he needed to gain the leadership of the Tory party. Perhaps he’ll win the next election and become Prime Minister, but I doubt it.
Neither Margaret Thatcher nor Tony Blair were exactly burdened with high-level experience when they became Prime Ministers: MT had a couple of years experience in Ted Heath’s cabinet, and TB had none.
