From reading GPM during the campaign, you'd think that Bush was the Gold President, representing the interests of the "Gold Lobby" on GPM. ROFL. PS Some are in for a rude "awakening" IMHO.

Monday March 19, 6:41 am Eastern Time METI says BOJ move timely as economy at standstill TOKYO, March 19 (Reuters) - Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry said on Monday the Bank of Japan's policy decisions made earlier in the day were timely given the current economic standstill and growing risks going forward. ``We hope the Bank of Japan will continue to provide ample liquidity to firms and take flexile and appropriate monetary policies,'' Takeo Hiranuma was quoted in a statement as saying. ``The government has already been trying to restructure the economy, but it is now also embarking on emergency economy measures such as revitalising the stock market and fighting bad loans,'' he said. The BOJ's Policy Board, which met against a background of intense political pressure for drastic action, decided to effectively resume its zero rate policy by flooding the banking system with extra funds through purchases of government bonds. biz.yahoo.com
