Guys I've got a serious question. I'm sick of being overweight and want to make a change, but I've got some pretty serious club foot and asthma that always gets in the way. I've done some looking around and I'm not finding any sources that specifically deal with exercises that don't murder people with club feet. I'm hoping that somebody here can offer some advice with regards to this particular situation.

Ye, my feet are turned the other way from those in the x-ray. I had corrective surgery as a kid that left me able to walk and run and all that junk, just not without a good deal of pain. Lost the genetic lottery on that one.
If you're overweight; fix your diet. That's 90% of weight loss right there. You won't lose weight if you're eating too much. When you're at a normal weight most exercises will be less stressful on your lower body. Focus on getting to that point.
In the mean time you should start lifting weights. Squats, deadlifts, and anything that requires a good deal of balance under load is probably out. But that leaves lots of machines that will do a decent, if sub-optimal, job. Upper body stuff shouldn't be a problem. Find a good beginner strength program and stick to it. Building a base level of strength is super important. It'll make literally everything else you do physically easier. A quick google search indicates that lifting with asthma is probably just fine. Just rest appropriately between sets.
Maybe consider swimming for cardio. This abstract from this study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1470792) indicates it's at least not necessarily bad for asthma sufferers. Also it shouldn't hurt your feet.
