It's franks & beans time
Obama fan who rapped prez gets fired

The Obama supporter who told the president during a televised town-hall meeting that she was "deeply disappointed" in him has lost her job.

Velma Hart, who graced the front page of The Post in September after her direct questioning of the president, said yesterday that she's trying "focus on the positive and be optimistic."

Hart -- who told the president she feared her family would have to go back to the "hot dogs-and-beans era" -- was laid off late last week as chief financial officer for AMVETS, a Maryland-based charity that aids veterans.


"They called me in on a Friday afternoon and said they had made a decision . . . should make that cut," she told CNBC.

The unwelcome news has made the married mother of two daughters even more aware of the dire state of the economy.
