Richard Daley was promised a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court by Obama if he stepped down from the mayor's position in Chicago to make way for Obama's then Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Richard Daley is making sure he sheds his "racist past" such as growing up & living in Bridgeport, being the son of the first Mayor Daley who 'housed" Chicago blacks in prison like Chicago Public Housing Projects and who fenced up viaducts around Bridgeport that bordered any black neighborhoods.
Now Daley looks like the most politically correct man around... perfect for a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
This "relationship" is as real as Mayor Harold Washington having a fiancee'...
The former mayor showed up with Dr. Adele Joy Cobbs, a Rush University Medical Center emergency physician, on his arm - She is 30 years younger than the old crook.
They have been dating for more than six months, having hit it off after meeting at the gym, according to friends and acquaintances at the Hobson-Lucas wedding.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Daley, 71, said he's out of town and would not want to comment. The former mayor is of counsel atKatten Muchin Rosenman LLP, heads Tur Partners investment firm and is on Coca-Cola Co.'s board. Dr. Cobbs did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Daley, who was mayor for 22 years, retreated from politics in the spring of 2011. His wife, Maggie, died later that year.
According to her hospital profile, Dr. Cobbs, 41, earned her medical degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine in Madison. She trained as a resident at Cook County Hospital and in a transitional-year program at St. Joseph's Hospital in Oregon. Before landing at Rush in recent months, she was an ER doctor at Little Company of Mary Hospital & Health Care Centers in Evergreen Park. Dr. Cobbs, whose late mother, Sarah Cobbs, was a pediatrician, was appointed by Mr. Daley to the city's Board of Health team in November 2010, though the two didn't know each other at the time.
