In the short time that Oswald lived after Kennedy's assassination, he consistantly denied shooting Kennedy, so it would not be possible that he would give a reason for doing it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_harvey_oswald#Assassination_of_JFK says:

Oswald was interrogated several times during his two days of detention at Dallas Police Headquarters. He denied killing President Kennedy or Officer Tippit, denied owning a rifle, said two photographs of him holding a rifle and a pistol were fakes, denied knowing anything about the forged Selective Service card with the name "Alek J. Hidell" in his wallet, denied telling his co-worker he wanted a ride to Irving to get curtain rods for his apartment, and denied he had been seen carrying a long heavy package to work the morning of the assassination.

Oswald wanted to be important and historical. He didn't just keep a diary, he called it a Historic diary! He defected to the USSR, found out he was a nobody there too, made arrangements to come back and planned what to tell the media on arrival... but nobody bothered to cover the story of his return. He screwed up an assassination attempt on a general earlier the same year, and had made plans what to say if captured.

Then, he did manage to become historic, the bad way. He tried to contact a leftist lawyer he'd heard of... clearly he was hoping for a big showy trial. Then the Dallas police dragged him in front of one unsearched crowd after another, until they found what they obviously wanted, a crowd with someone in it who was just as nutty.

His last act on this Earth was to raise his (handcuffed) fist to his head in the well known Communist "Knuckle-Head" sign.
