Um, that's because ... there wasn't one!

Whopper of the day: "The Fourth Republic (Translation: the governments prior to Chavez) did not carry out the necessary investments to solve the country's electricity crisis."
Vice-President Elías Jaua at the National Assembly today.
Whatever happened to El Niño being the cause of the crisis?
Update: Boludo Tejano, in the comments section, FTW: "Similarly, Abraham Lincoln did nothing to deal with the Great Depression. Thomas Jefferson did not prepare the US for World War II. Truman, for all his campaign talk about the "do-nothing Congress" in 1948, did nothing to deal with the 2008 financial crash. Do-nothing Presidents."

What would happen if someone were to steal his red shirt?
Would he look around in desperation for guidance?
Would he stop believing in the way he does in his regime?
I think we need to challenge the government time after time to have a televised debate.
We should also Blame "El oso
We should also Blame "El oso de la Polar", the Nescafe cup and the Pepsi ball too.
I've always known that that goddamed bear meant no one any good!
SOBs
What a SOB, if "La Cuarta" was so evil and crappy, why (in ELEVEN years) havent they done anything about it?
Dont worry Kepler, when el Guri fully stops there will be a magical word that will solve all of chavismo's problems:
"Sabotaje"
Can't do it if you're not there
"The Fourth Republic (Translation: the governments prior to Chavez) did not carry out the necessary investments to solve the country's electricity crisis."
Correct. Here is a Yanqui-centric take on that. Similarly, Abraham Lincoln did nothing to deal with the Great Depression. Thomas Jefferson did not prepare the US for World War II. Truman, for all his campaign talk about the "do-nothing Congress" in 1948, did nothing to deal with the 2008 financial crash. Do-nothing Presidents.
Nor did Perez Jimenez nor Gomez, before the times of the Fourth Republic, carry out the needed investments from 1999-2009 to deal with the current electricity crisis. Nor did Simon Bolivar, for that matter.

Even Worse
It's even worse because at the end of Caldera's presidency there was sufficient Electricity to satisfy the level of demand back then, and many projects drawn up and budgeted to provide more power in the future based on projected power consumption. GUESS who canceled all the projects and investments? Miguel's blog detailed all this already.
