Failing Banks?

I just read in Digg (above), and heard on KCRW about two American banks failing on a Friday. What is going on?

The world is definitely changing. Here down in Mexico we are voting tomorrow on whether or not oil profits should go to foreigners. The argument is that Mexicans do not know how to profit from oil. I will vote for Mexico.

Oil prices are not really going down in the near future.

I hope more money comes to Mexico and less to failing banks in the US.
