Accuse the opponent of doing exactly what you (or your own) has done.

For low IQ listeners (which is Fox's audience, by and large), they kind of remember that somebody created a huge deficit while in office. So Fox keeps telling them it's Obama, and eventually they say, "Oh, yeah, that's the guy I was trying to think of."
