Narrative:
We were cleared for the visual approach. The captain states 'I'm going to show you how to do a real visual approach.' he then makes a steep descent as well as a steep turn from just inside the final approach fix. He instructs me to put the gear down and flaps 30. At this time we were receiving numerous aural warnings; 'bank angle; glide slope; pull up; descent rate.' I am pretty confident that he did over-speed the flaps; because we were way too fast on the approach (approximately 210 KTS.) I mentioned to the captain that we are too high and I did not think we would make it; however I neglected to tell him to go-around. At about 10 ft; he called for flaps 45; and before landing check. I did not have enough time to complete it; because we were in the landing flare. We landed with full flaps and the flight spoilers deployed. I was approached by a dead heading pilot at the end of the flight. He mentioned to me that we scared him and that he felt that the approach was unsafe. On my walk around I noticed that the flight spoilers were still deployed on the captains side. I told the captain. He then turned on the hydraulics and corrected the issue.
