It might actually be a pretty damn good strategy by the R's. It's basically betting on the ignorance of the American People. If the majority of people are well informed and knowledgeable of the situation then it's a bad bet. If the majority of people don't know wtf is really going on, and can only really recognize the president as a national figure then it's a great bet.
Here's the republican talking point if the government shuts down:
"Last week President Obama promised a deal to keep the government running. He failed to deliver on that promise."
