Reply To: What Blessing to make upon Seeing President Obama

Shazam: “On the one hand, you only make a beracha shecholak mechevodo l’basar v’dam with Shem and Malchus on seeing a non-Jewish king who has the power to execute.”

Thank you. In that case, why does anyone hold that the bracha shouldn’t be made with Shem & Malchus?

Daas Yochid: So would you say the bracha?
