Greater Oversight Needed

Everyone is demanding it
The culprits are all expecting it
Oversight repeated over and over
There should be more oversight
Appoint an oversight board
It’s the universal buracratic
        Answer

Announce hearings
After the horse gets out
Is that oversight
What good is that
Oversight implies a failure
Resulting from an unintentional
         Omission
I'll admit that this mess
Was indeed unintentional

Greater oversight and rigorous safeguards
More comprehensive safeguards and oversight measures
A national system of oversight
Greater oversight and quality assurance
Time for greater oversight
Urge greater oversight
Greater oversight needed well before this

Oversight means dotting the ‘i’s
It’s the triumph of the grammar nazis
It’s what a proofreader does
Conformance with the style guide

Greater oversight implies greater responsibility
Growing pressure to impose greater oversight
Greater oversight likely
Industry needs greater oversight
New rules impose greater oversight and increased penalties
Pondering greater oversight
More leverage in exchange for greater oversight
Wanting greater oversight
Insisting on greater oversight and accountability

Oversight implies bureaucracy
Rules against which performance is measured
No child left behind is oversight
More oversight is always the first response
A public reassurance that eyes are on the Rhine
What you get is compliance not performance

Oversight committees had never been properly informed
Requiring greater oversight by boards
Greater oversight was warranted in certain situations
Policy makers usually call for greater oversight
Penalties for fraud and imposing greater oversight

More stringent compliance requirements demand greater oversight
Registering offenders for greater oversight
Having to exercise greater oversight than in the past.
Including greater oversight
Mandating greater oversight
Needs greater oversight to ensure goals
Albeit with perhaps greater oversight
Demanding greater oversight and sensitivity to governance
Demands for greater oversight and stricter accountability

Oversight starts at home
Negligent in its own function
Oversight in face of resistance
      Is difficult
Clean your own house first
It sounds good – a sound bite
Greater Oversight
