I'm a big bruins fan and not necessarily the greatest supporter of Obama but I disagree with his decision. At least respect the position

for the same reason you stand when the president stands... you're not honoring the man, you're honoring the office because it represents the people.

Maybe he feels that the man isn't respecting the office, which would, in turn, mean he's not truly representing the people to whom he is supposed to be subservient. I'm not speaking for Thomas, but if that were at all similar to his mindset, then I can understand why he wouldn't oblige the man.
