WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Madame Tussauds wax museum in Washington has unveiled a life-size wax sculpture of U.S. Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama in a mock Oval Office.

The sculpture of the Illinois senator is accompanied by a wax statue of his rival for the nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. -- however, she is depicted standing to the side and cheering for Obama, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

"It's a glimpse of what could be happening in the future," said museum spokeswoman Rosemary Preta.
