Von Hettlingen added, "Obama's priorities are to mend ties with the Congress, without ceding his power. It's most important to have a functioning relationship with the legislature, if a president wants to have things done. Having said that, one has to admit that it is easier said than done. It's a real pity that so many in the House don't have the country's best interest at heart."</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph27">Ivy has been disabled for the past decade, and said that the stress of the recent uncertainty over the economy, the fiscal cliff and other issues, has also been a burden.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph28">"Having true leadership in the White House would affect me personally by providing more stability and certainty in knowing that my monthly Social Security check would continue to arrive without fear of it being disrupted or delayed, which could cause issues with buying my needed medicines, food and meeting monthly living expenses," he said.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph29"><strong>4.
