Why did the president most likely believe that a desire to "pull back" from globalization from some people was understandable?

President Barack Obama said that sometimes there are movements of both left and right that try to seek disintegration, oppose technology and recover jobs that have been disappearing for decades. Therefore, an impulse to want to "pull back" from globalization could be understandable.

People in countries such as the United States wanted to pull back because outsourcing moved some jobs overseas.
