They can blame him for creating a structural deficit
BEFORE the recession hit. They can claim they are poor predictors of the economy as they repeatedly said that there would be neither a recession (while
ALL of the other leaders said there would be one during the election) nor a deficit (while, I repeat, we were already in a structural deficit
BEFORE the recession).
