The chief executive of a successful American exporter will have a prime
spot on Tuesday night to watch President Barack Obama make the case in his
final State of the Union address for a sweeping Asian trade deal he hopes
will be part of his legacy.

Ronna Rice, CEO of a Greeley, Colorado honey company that ships its sweet
product as far as Japan, South Korea and China, will be one of 23 guests in
the First Lady's box to hear the speech in person.

Inviting Americans whose stories bring to life the priorities of the White
House has long been part of the annual State of the Union ritual.

As Obama pushes in his last year in office to sweet-talk trade-wary
Democratic lawmakers to support the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership,
Rice's Lucky Clover Honey is just the kind of company the White House wants
Congress to keep in mind.
