April 12, 2008, through September 7, 2008.  Cowboys and Presidents: Cowboy Culture and Presidential Politics Intersect at the Autry National Center.  On the eve of the 2008 election, the debate over cowboys and presidents continues. Some of the new crop of presidential candidates don cowboy attire on the campaign trail. Hillary Clinton has rejected the heroic icon saying, "...the era of cowboy diplomacy is over." Few symbols communicate the ideas of good and evil, common sense, resolute action-and America-more clearly or succinctly than the American Cowboy. For that reason, if for no other, cowboys and presidents probably have not taken their last ride together.
