White House press secretary Jay Carney sparred Thursday with a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over President Obama’s energy speech.

The quarrel on Twitter underscores the heightened tensions surrounding White House and GOP energy proposals amid rising gas prices. The tensions boiled over Thursday after Obama delivered a speech arguing that the GOP is using rising gas prices to score political points.

The Twitter fight started when Carney, who has more than 280,000 followers on the social networking site, linked to 2008 remarks by Boehner in which the then-minority leader touted an “all of the above” energy plan as a response to rising gas prices.

“#memorylapse? In 2008 Spkr Boehner endorsed an “all of the above” policy b/c gas prices ‘will certainly rise again,’” Carney tweeted.

You're quoting me out of context!

That was then, this is now.

Quit remembering stuff.

It's all different now.

Clinton got a blow job.
