How come Bush always gets a standing ovation?

Just watched a clip of Bush's speach yesterday and at the end the whole audience stands and applauds the guy in unison!

What the fuck? If 60% are against the guy surely a few of the audience would just sit there and not clap him, or at least heckle or boo the guy?

If it was Blair doing the same type of thing he would get some shit from the crowd he was talking to, or at least a few boos when he had finished his speech.

I have noticed this every time Bush does anything. The crowd rise en masse to cheer him. No boos, heckling, nothing, even in the USA parliament. For the land of the free, the desenters seems to be remarkably quiet. Is it against the democratic rules of the US to give your leader a hard time?
