They might not give their money, but I suspect the Prez is looking at his incoming funding and deciding that he can do without the Left coast's funding during this election cycle. Besides, I can't imagine that the Left would line up to vote for Romney, so its a relatively safe position to take.
Frankly, I think the administation is doing the right thing - though potentially not for the right reasons - to squash SOPA. But just when I start to think Obama may have seen he light, he turns around and squashes the oil pipeline.
