Gov.-elect Nathan Deal is traveling to Washington, D.C., today to meet with President Barack Obama and other incoming governors at the White House.

There is no agenda for the meeting, but Deal speculates they will discuss health care, taxes and spending, a spokesman said.

"Nathan has said today that he hopes the president uses this opportunity to seek the advice of the governors-elect," Deal spokesman Brian Robinson said Wednesday. "The governors-elect have just come off the campaign trail, they have been face to face with the voters for the last 12 to 18 months and they are seeing what's really happening out there as opposed to what's happening inside the walls of the White House."

In the morning, the governors-elect and the president will be meeting with cabinet secretaries and discussing issues that will include homeland security and education.

Robinson said Deal thinks it could be a good opportunity to build relationships and exchange ideas. There are a few things Deal plans to discuss with Obama.

"Nathan hopes to talk about the health care reform implementation, which will bear a tremendous cost to the state, and he hopes the president asks for the governors-elects' ideas on job creation. Nathan does not want to see another stimulus and he thinks adding debt hurts Georgians in the long run as it hurts all other Americans," Robinson said.

Later in the day, Deal will be meeting with the Republican members of Georgia's Congressional delegation.

It is no secret that Deal considers Obama a political adversary.

On the campaign trail this fall, Deal blasted his Democratic gubernatorial opponent Roy Barnes for his ties to Obama. While in Congress, Deal voted against the Obama-backed health care law.

And in 2009, Deal wrote a letter to the White House calling on Obama to produce his birth certificate to resolve questions about whether he was born in the United States. He has said since then that he was simply passing along concerns from his constituents and believes the matter is settled.

Deal is set to be sworn in as governor Jan. 10.
