This man defeated Hal Suit to become governor, and his participation in a primary four years earlier had led to a runoff between Ellis Arnall and Lester Maddox. This man was advised by one subordinate to begin Operation Cyclone, and during his administration, Operation Credible Sport was proposed to correct the disastrous Operation Eagle Claw. This man's Malaise Speech commented on a crisis of confidence among Americans, and in another speech which this man called a fireside chat, he wore a sweater and compared the energy crisis to the "moral equivalent of war". This man threatened to use military force to defend US interests in the Persian Gulf in his namesake doctrine, and with Leonid Brezhnev he signed SALT II. This man signed two treaties with Omar Torrijos which transferred US control over the Panama Canal, and he oversaw the Camp David Accords. For 10 points, name this former Governor of Georgia whose awful handling of the Iran hostage crisis led to his defeat by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential election.
