You have to watch the really old western, to get a some what realistic look at the cowboy era.
And as far as the cowboy presdent, the longer time goes on, the more truth comes out bit by bit, that he was not the idiot the news painted him to be. He was a gentaman, that for some missguided reason, felt it best not to respond to all the crap that was thrown at him. And sadly the more crap thrown without responce, the more people belive it to be true. Just look at what is there now, no matter if it's true or not, his gang is quick to respond and claim it's all lies, and because of doing that, a lot of people belive him no matter what. But cracks are really startting to take a toll on him and his bunch!!!
