Worse?
As long as the university is nationally accredited a degee from a university offering an online program is fine. It's just not going to be as respected (yet) as one from a formal program.
For example, the University of Phoenix is nationally accredited and is the largest private university in the world. It has lots of physical campuses all over the country (despite the name) but offers an entire online program. The benefit is being able to work around a full-time job and do your class work and home work on your own time. It's better for working professionals and those not near a city.
But if you went to Stanford and got an MBA, you're going to get a better education.

Not at all. The advantage that online MBA's have over residency programs is that you can apply what you're learning in the real world at the same time you're learning it. It also likely means that you have some experience already (most likely going back to school if going online) and can contribute that knowledge to the educational experience.

Many employers only care about what you can do, not *where* you got your degree. They don't want to train employees anymore, so they need someone who can "hit the ground running."
Besides, school is what you put into it, not where you go. Bust your hump and learn as much as possible, and if you're confident in your interviews while displaying knowledge and ability, you should be employed shortly thereafter.
