Lee Harey Oswald feelings about JFK were mixed

A friend of Lee Harvey Oswald's, Paul Gregory, wrote in The New York Times that Marina and Lee Harvey Oswald kept a copy of Time magazine, which featured John F. Kennedy as its Man of the Year, prominently displayed in their house. According to Priscilla McMillan, a close friend of Oswald's wife and the creator of Marina & Lee, "Lee liked Kennedy." "In civil rights, he liked him. Because of the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, he didn't like him." One fascinating detail about Lee Harvey Oswald is that whenever he mentioned Kennedy, it was always in a positive light.

Gerald Posner, an investigative journalist, stated that he did not think Oswald had any animosity for Kennedy. Posner stated, "What he did loathe was the system and what Kennedy stood for. He hated America, Capitalism was hated by him. When he finally had the chance to attack Kennedy, he was aiming at that representation of the system."
