Narrative:
Captain flying. While descending to 9000 ft, I looked at the asi and noticed we were indicating 255 KTS at 45 NM from atl, 3 mi from the 42 mi class B speed trap. I told the captain. He tried to slow down, but was unable to do so in time. We entered the class B airspace at 240 KTS. Captain flying, while cleared for the approach and told to join the localizer, the captain passed through it and got full deflection. Tower told us to get back on our side, which the captain eventually did. I made all the company required calls, and then some. He seemed to lack his situational awareness. This is the third time I've had to make note of this captain's flying ability in 2 days.
