Is this true or is it more behind the story, that meets the eye?

I think your media is just parroting ours. The majority of our news media is left wing, as such they tend to place blame on the right wing with regularity. That said, I think there is some truth to tea party republican's having blame, but at this point I do not think it is the whole truth.

At this point, i think the entire truth is that our two party system is gridlocked because the Democrats are (from the last i read) stubbornly refusing to compromise or negotiate in the slightest. While the republicans tying in of Obamacare may or may not have been a good idea, they have budged from their previous position three times. Democrats, not one iota.

I've stopped reading the news about this whole ordeal last week, so my knowledge is out of date, but the impression i was left with as of last week was the republicans won't move anymore then they already have, and the democrats won't move at all.

I'm sure the details of situation has changed since last I bothered to keep up with it.
