why is it ridiculous to show respect to the office of the president?
There are other times for dissent and those usually happen with the rebuttals after the speech.
While we don't always have to agree with the man, we should still repsect the office of the President. It's called "being civilized".
Politicians generally save their regular nastiness for congressional sessions ;-)
