When things turn out well, the politician gets the credit for setting and

I used to find it mildly amusing that the committees on the Hill that
second guess everybody else were called "The Oversight Committees".
Then I realized that they were using the second definition as in "I
should have seen that coming but didn't. It was an Oversight on my
