Barack Obama Knew, Often Went to the Movies With, Lee Harvey Oswald

Barack Obama’s ties to domestic terrorists run far deeper, and are far more disturbing, than he’s willing to admit. We uncover the shocking truth about how much the Illinois Senator really does hate the government he wants to lead and the country he plans to change. 

First in a Four-Part Carbolic Smoke Ball Investigative Report.

WASHINGTON, DC - A newly uncovered footnote from the Warren Commission Report reveals that twenty minutes after he murdered President John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald met Barack Obama, the man he often called “my brother,” at the Texas Theater in Dallas. 

The two friends sat together in their usual spot, fifth row center, and watched “War is Hell,” starring Baynes Barron, their favorite actor. Fifteen minutes into the film, both men stood up, raised their fists in the air, and shouted: “Death to Kennedy! Death to Kennedy!” Oswald then asked Obama if he “felt like popcorn,” and Obama volunteered to get some at the refreshment counter. While Obama was in the lobby, police entered the theater, struggled with Oswald, and arrested him. 

“Lee! Lee!” Obama cried as Oswald was led out the theater in handcuffs. “Tell me how it comes out,” Oswald shouted to him. It was the last time the two friends ever spoke. Oswald was charged with murdering the President and, two days later, was gunned down by nightclub owner Jack Ruby.

Oswald’s death shattered Obama, who had launched his political career in Oswald’s Moscow living room two years earlier. The two men served on numerous committees together, and they made time to see a film together at least once a week, making sure to interrupt each one with their “Death to Kennedy” chant. 

Years later, on the campaign trail running for the very office his good friend once helped to vacate, Obama has yet to provide details about his relationship with Oswald. Nor has the Illinois Senator sufficiently explained the favorable comments he’s made about Oswald over the years. Obama is, however, quick to point out that he was not aware Oswald had killed President Kennedy until “very recently.” 

“Lee Oswald did a despicable thing before we went to the movies one time,” Obama said. “He will not be a part of my administration, so I don’t see what all the fuss is about.”
