Question

“The biggest football game of the year is scheduled for Sunday, when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers at Cowboys Stadium near Dallas. Fox Network's ad rates break down to about $100,000 a second.”

Obama got 180 seconds more than Romney, compliments of CNN. If he had had to pay for those 180 seconds it could have cost $180,000,000.
