When Debbie Bosanek got an invitation to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, she called Southwest Airlines and booked the cheapest flight she could find from Omaha, arriving Monday to be sure she wouldn't run into any weather delays.

Tuesday night, thanks to a national tax controversy, she was a guest of first lady Michelle Obama and had a box seat at the Capitol for the president's address to the nation.

"I feel like Cinderella today," she said Tuesday morning.

But Wednesday, she planned to catch a dawn flight out of Washington, D.C., so she could get back to work at Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s headquarters in Omaha.
