Don't believe it!
Why? There is an election every two years. Obama just showed that he could care less about what the public thinks. If GOP caves ( and they may have already, I don't know because I haven't checked ), it shows that they don't care either. If the GOP doesn't care now, why should they care later, as they are promising? The GOP says trust us later to do what we won't do now. Yeah, sure.
Even if the GOP is blamed, will it make any difference in their majorities? Maybe, but the vast majority of the minority will have safe seats. Only swing districts will be vulnerable. It didn't make any difference when there was a shutdown this past year, now did it? The public, if it acts the way it usually acts, will vote the same rascals in that they usually do.
Basically, they don't care and it wouldn't cost that much in any event even if the worst possible thing happened. So why believe the excuse?
Only if they are personally hurt by what they do will they start caring. What that could entail is if they started losing in some "safe" districts. This means that in order to do something that will make any difference at all, you are going to have to take a risk and do something that you wouldn't ordinarily do. The thing I did was to vote for the Democrat! Now that would hurt if enough people did it and it cost them some seats.
I don't expect Democrats to do anything like this but it would be great if they did. Evidently, the Democrats don't mind getting screwed over by their leaders.
If you are a masochist and just love the punishment they dish out, just keep on doing what you are doing now. If you really really hate it, they by golly by gosh, do something about it.
But I don't expect anybody to pay attention or to care. They like their misery.
